Ok,

I have sorted out my firefox problem, by getting rid of firefox and downloading a new version and installing it. I can now download themes and extensions. although I am stuck as to get the fonts correct, I am looking over the links given to me above.

Thanks guys for the links, but it looks like this is going to take ages to get fixed, because Xine keeps starting up when I double clikc a subdirectory in Konqueror, not sure why? but still come up with the same message as in my first post.

I am not sure what some websites mean when they say sign in as root, does this mean just sign in to a terminal as root, or something else?
if I sign in as root to a terminal, am I root everywhere else? e.g. the prog I have open like Konqueror.?
