    I have applied the live update and now my email and rss reader do not work. They did work before, clicking on the icons now does nothing.

    Any ideas?

    Many Thanks

    For those that follow, I have found a solution looking st this web site http://jorge.ulver.no/2008/08/06/acer-a ... nd-tricks/

    Basically do the following

    wget http://jorge.ulver.no/files/firefox-files.tar.gz
    gunzip http://jorge.ulver.no/files/firefox-files.tar.gz
    tar xvf http://jorge.ulver.no/files/firefox-files.tar
    cd firefox-files
    mv libgtkembedmoz.so /usr/acer/lib/
    mv libxpcom_core.so /usr/acer/lib/

    This fixed it, I think this was because I had installed firefox 3 from the acer site before doing the upgrade.
