   My guess is that you got yourself a system where the installed packages   
   didn't match.   
      
   Maybe you downloaded the firefox package from the patches directory of   
   Slackware 15.0 and installed on your Slackware current. Maybe you   
   downloaded only the firefox package for Slackware current and tried to   
   apply that to a four mounths old installation of Slackware current.   
      
   Trying to cherry pick only a few packages from the /patches directory of   
   a stable version of Slackware might give different kinds of trouble and   
   the same of course also applies to the allways moving target alpha   
   version that Slackware current is.
