Does anybody know why when i log in as root, I get the toolbar in Mozilla, but when i log in with any user, its gone?

Configuration is saved per user in ~/.mozilla. Just change the users view in the menu View -> Show/Hide.

Cya lX.

my problem is though, that for users, i have no view menu, nor a file, edit etc.... I tried erasing the preferences, and that didnt work, so i created a new user. the new user also has no menu. This is really annoying.
I can't figure it out at all, I even recompiled mozilla....

Have you tried starting mozilla in a console under X, so you can check the output for errors (permissions). Well very very strange problem.

Sorry I can't help, lX.

Failed to load overlay chrome://mozgest/content/mozgestOverlay.xul

Hmmm, thats what i get when i do it from a console, not quite sure what that means. It sounds like it could have something to do with the sidebar popping up, but being empty....

thanks anyways

Go under root and remove your extra themes. Many are not Mozilla 1.0 compliant.

I had the same problem 'till I took away the restrictions from "cromes".

Well, I don't have any themes except for the ones that came with mozilla, which i can't remove..... But how do i change the permissions on chrome?

Hey HammeR, did Steve Balmer really say that?

I had this problem the other day...after I installed the GoogleBar from MovDev (as root

)

Anyways the cause was some weird permissions set on the /usr/lib/mozzilla directory. The googlebar had installed with only "root" read permissions and nothing else. So I changed them so everyone could read and then all was fine.

Let me know if you need more detailed instructions.
