Ah, that's an important piece of information you left out before. Firefox is looking at localhost:631 I assume?

Certainly sounds like there is something broken in firefox. BTW, 3.5.6 is already obsolete, 3.5.7 was just released. Maybe an update would fix the problem. If using the 'bin' version of 3.5.7 still doesn't work, I would suggest using the non-bin version instead. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 12+ messages in thread

Compiled from source it works just fine.
