My question is:
Why when I run Firefox as 'user' selected highlighting WILL NOT work?
but when I run Firefox (same file) as 'Root' selected highlighting WILL work?

This project is for a "Community Food/Clothing Bank"
with 11 units in a network using WinXP/Firefox - if I can get this
highlighting fixed I can move all 11 to KDE-Kubuntu/Firefox.

I have made a test Web page, from one of the check-out-desks pages
with 3 HTML '......' as columns
when you click on a 'option' it is highlighted BUT it
will NOT stay highlighted when you click a 'option' in one of the
other columns or outside of the columns when you run:

usr/lib/firefox-3.0.5/firefox as 'user'.

When you run the same file as 'Root' all selected options stay highlighted.
(Note: Firefox's 'skin' is not the same when run as 'user' or 'Root')

I am new to KDE-Kubuntu and I think something in the setup needs to changed
but what and where I do not know, and that is what I need help with.

Here is data I have that looks to me - it is the same as 'user' or 'Root'
Run as 'user' Firefox Help/About shows:
