I deleted my old slack except for /home and installed Slack 12.1. I have
an in-house DNS/ftp/web/mail server that I use, and it is configured
properly. Lynx/Links can surf the web nicely, but Firefox/Thunderbird
dont. Something is wiggy in the Mozilla family of products and seeing as
it's Moms Day, I have little time to hang around the computer trying to
fix it. Anyone else have this problem?

To expand on my limited initial offering, it seems Konqueror doesn't surf
either. X apps b0rked, but the network connection is good.

Output from ifconfig:

br0 is the bridge to eth0, and I'm thinking this might be the problem,
although I don't yet know why or how Lynx/Links uses hardware
differently from Firefox or other X apps.

Oddness.

DNS issue? Can you browse to an IP address? (Google : 64.233.183.99 )

Didn't include it, I figure most folks would assume it's there and as
always reliably pulling 127.0.0.1.

I deleted the old ~/.kde directory. Tha fixed Konqueror. Then I did the
'about:config' thing and changed a 'network.ipv6' option from false to
true to fix firefox. All is good now.
