If you install the "yelp" package do things start working for you?
Yelp made the menu's work again, however it uses firefox 1.5 as a dependent. I have been using 2.0.0.4, is there a work around or do I need 1.5?
Unfortunately, you don't have a lot of options. Firefox 2.0 isn't supported in RHEL 5. I don't believe it is ABI compatible with firefox 1.5, so you would need to rebuild yelp against your version of firefox. The rebuilt yelp package wouldn't be supported either, obviously.
Thanks for the help. I'll either rebuild or keep both browsers. (Probably keep both so my RHN support is affected if I need it.)
