Firefox issues slack 9.1

[CP]

I've just installed Slack 9.1, and none of the installed browsers are working properly. Mozilla wont load, Galeon refuses to open any pages, epiphany has no scroll bars. So I decided to download and install FireFox.
Install went well, yet when I try to run it I get the following error.
firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied
I've checked the libraries, and they have got read permission for all users, and also have made sure that ld.so.conf has the correct directory in it. Run ldconfig, and still no luck.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Do you get the same result when you run `firefox` as root?

If so, then as you said, there are permissions problems. However, if it doesn't work for root:

This is not for slackware but this might help

The bug is that mozilla-browser will crash systematically at startup

It works fine as root. So I tried changing the permissions on the library to read and execute, I still get the same error when trying to run firefox-bin, but if I just run firefox, which is a bash script, I get the following error.
(QFA)Talkback error: Can't initialize.
I just uninstalled and reinstalled in the home directory and that seems to have fixed it. It doesn't like being installed by root.

I just installed .9 from source and had to run it first as root, then it worked fine as gorn. But the initial run had to be root or it wouldn't work.

Who knows?

humsss. - have you tried running ldconfig as root?

[CP]

Yup, ldconfig was one of the first things I did. I even added the firefox lib dir to /etc/ld.so.conf

i always run Firefox from my home directory or copy the install folder to /usr/bin, is it more efficient to run firefox-bin???

doh - i should read the whole post, what are the permisions on the directory?
