We are trying to install Websphere 7.1 on our AIX 7.1 server. When we run Launchpad it fails because it can't find a browser. The AIX admin installed firefox from the distribution DVD, and now when we launch firefox we get:
pango-querymodules fails and the pango.modules file is zero length.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Reason: Added CODE tags.
pango-querymodules fails and the pango.modules file is zero length.
Same question as always: how does it fail? Is there any error message? Return Code? Monitor imploding into a black hole?
They say that most UNIX problems are rights problems: have you checked the filemodes on the relevant directories/files? You said that the "AIX-admin installed" Firefox, so i suppose that isn't you - under which user did you run the program to get the error message you quoted? Is maybe this link from bugzilla relevant to your problem?
And have you run (probably need to be run as root) the pango-querymodules command as mentioned in the error message?
I hope this helps.

this is what I have on this box:
So nothing here to help you out...
But for me getting firefox to work was not obvious and I had to tweek a lot, as its a 64bit, and most lib are pointing by default to the 32bit libs...
We dont know what firefox you are using ( 32/64 or version...) I to get running the one I use, had to review all the pregrequisites and do many updates...
Then you have other softs not working properly after, so you have to customize mozilla configuration to use the libs it needs and not use default to not upset the rest.. Unless you have a lot of time to resolve everything for all and are a guru that masters C and the art of compilation..
But so far not knowing what version and type of bin, we cant say much
Where did you get the file sets for Firefox? They should be on the AIX Expansion pack DVD. Those symbol errors are usually what you get when the binaries are compiled on a later version of AIX.
In other words, the Firefox you've installed are from 7.1 TL4 and you're running 7.1 TL2.
Can you provide the output of
oslevel -s
lslpp -l | grep -i Firefox
If you have installed Firefox from another source, I would recommend considering the version supplied on the AIX expansion DVD instead. Compiling from source will not be for beginners and third party rpms or installp packages can be hit-or-miss
I just would like to have a javascript function ( for user logout ) which can close the browser that the user run this function , for example , if the user is using IE to click this function , then close ALL IE browser , is it possible ? if it can not be make , could the function close ALL opened...

I'm looking for a browser than can handle heavy java usage. Firefox doesn't seem to be able to handle heavy usage anymore :( .

Have an HP-UX server running init level 3, dtlogin shows up in ps -ef, but when you try to connect to this server via X browser (on Win XP), the browser comes up with just a gray screen w/mouse pointer.
All the other HP-UX boxes on the same subnet come up with a pretty dtlogin screen.

In Linux, is there any variable which carries the value of the default browser.
Say, in linux we have the $SHELL variable which points to the current SHELL in use.
Similarly, is there anything for default BROWSER settings ?

The IT admin where I work is limited in knowing what's available, so we're stuck with Netscape Navigator v4.72, as our only GUI browser.
