Well, I'm committed now. I reinstalled Linux on my PC tonight...and deleted the Windows partition. There's no turning back now. (Well, okay, there is--I could reinstall Win98 if I really wanted to. But I don't.)

It's a clean install with only a couple of additional programs added in immediately. Gemini for reading email and news and Opera (dammit) for my browser. I thought that a complete reinstall would fix my issues with Firefox, but that isn't the case. I STILL can't get the damn thing to install or run. I have no idea why, and it's frustrating.

That's possible, I suppose. And if it really comes to it, could do that. But I'm not so sure anymore that it's just a Windows issue. A couple of weeks ago--even before I booted Windows--I tried downloading a patch/upgrade to Firefox and it caused some problems. Rebooting my system cleared them up and I didn't worry about it.

I'm wondering if maybe the latest build of Firefox just won't work with my system (I'm on SuSE 9.0, and they're up to 9.3 last I heard). If I could get an older build of Firefox, that might work--but all the links I can find lead back to the main Firefox download page, and the only one there is the current 1.5 Beta.
