Are you running KDE or Gnome?

I am also running SuSe 9.3 (about to try out 10) and I run KDE.

Never had this problem - my versions of Mozilla-Firefox are the same.
1.07-0.1


I'd suggest removing Mozilla-Firefox - and use just Mozilla or Konqueror
- to see if the problem persists. If not you'll probably need to go with
1.06 release.
