Just emerged this version of mozilla and it only accesses pages on the net as root. As a normal user it can only load pages stored locally, and if you access google.com (say) then you get this: Forbidden You were denied access because: Access denied by access control list.
Tried links, opera or anything else?
Lynx and Konqueror both work fine - I just can't understand what's "getting in the way" of Mozilla. This is running on a fresh install of 1.4_rc2 gentoo (this is the first time I've used gentoo, so I'm admittedly still unsure of the finer points of the system's configuration as a whole). I've run Mozilla on Windows and Slackware and neither ever displayed this problem. I thought maybe they (i.e. Mozilla dev team) had introduced some kind of per-account control system specific to Mozilla, but could not locate any configuration tool that suggested such options now exist in the browser.
Baffeled here as well. I have never seen this before. Just a shot in the dark, but you did not enable some kind of ACL's kernel side ?
Cracked it - proxy settings for normal user were pointed at the proxy of an ISP I no longer use, whereas root settings had "Direct connection to internet" The ACL preventing access was not on the local system, but on the proxy system. Hence the appearance of it being a "root / regular user permission problem" as so often seen on misconfigured local systems. Oops :)
