    i have just updated to firefox 3.0.5, then onemail stopped working, when i opened it in terminal, it said there was files missing in the AME file in /user/acer/bin/AMEbin. (the error was: error while loading shared libraries: libxpcom_core.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) i then stupidly removed AME, with yum, without checking if it could be reinstalled and guess what... you cant reinstall it with yum.
    now the main question is how can i get it back?

    and one more thing, when i open firefox, and use the mobile broadband stick, it staight away comes up with offline mode, which is ok but gets annoying going to file work offline every time.

    I heard that replacing Firefox (Original preinstalled version) with any update can screw things in the AAO my advice is to use Macles Instructions where you install the latest version but don't uninstall the preinstalled one... that way everything works. http://macles.blogspot.com
