Only a "WAG". I'm using Firefox 3.0.1 on CentOS 5.2 (32 bit) and just looked at CNN (International and U.S. versions), with, as you see at home, no problem(s). Possibly a Graphics issue? Did you "Upgrade" from CentOS 4.x to 5 or did you do a "Clean" install? BTW, I had issues with Firefox 2.x, with Gmail.com for example, that went away, after I upgraded to CentOS 5.2 and got Firefox 3.x. I think there were major library changes, from CentOS 4.x to 5.0 and if you Upgraded, something may be awry. Possibly remove Firefox and then install again, in case something is corrupted. GL
