FireFox not working
I tried pacman -S firefox and got the latest one on the repo, and after that I can't find it anywhere. I tried searching with grep and looking through all the folders it might be in and can't find anything. I try running 'firefox' and 'firefox-bin' and it says it's not a valid command. I tried downloading it from the FireFox website, but when I try to run it it gives me libstdc++.so.5 errors.

Re: FireFox not working
It's not in the /opt/mozilla/bin (I believe) directory? Try performing 'pacman -Ql firefox' to see what files it contains.
Hope that gives some clue,

Ahha.
What is this magical 'opt' folder? And why did it contain Firefox?

Re: FireFox not working
Try downgrading to your last version of Firefox with pacman. http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrade_packages

Re: FireFox not working
I really hate to say this, but I have had the same problem with firefox on new installs, but after I reboot the system all is well, I have no idea what is going wrong.

Re: FireFox not working
You have to log out and back in for firefox to be added to the path. Or, you could just run /etc/profile.d/mozilla-common.sh.

Re: FireFox not working
Where can I get some fonts? I can't read anything in Firefox. Something like Times New Roman.

Re: FireFox not working
I believe you might want to try 'pacman -S ttf-ms-fonts' to get fonts like that.

Re: FireFox not working
That worked.
Now how do I get X to start at startup? I followed this and it didn't work. And my sound keeps muting itself when I restart my computer.

Re: FireFox not working
I've installed a Login-Manager (slim) for that and put it into my rc.conf under DAEMONS. For your sound-problem: put alsa into the DAEMONS-Array, too.
