[Solved] Cannot start firefox nor man pages without root acount.

Question

Hi all,
when i try to start firefox with a normal user account, it doesn't start, but if i do sudo firefox
it do starts.
The same happens with the man pages, if i do man ls
returns "no hay ninugna pagina sobre ls", but if i do sudo man ls
the man page appears.
Can anyone offer suggestions? Is there information you need? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

My current values in /etc/profile.d/mozilla-commons.sh are:
export PATH="${PATH}:/opt/mozilla/bin:/usr/bin"
i added :/usr/bin but there is no change, even if i comment that line, nothing changes
with MANPATH /usr/profile i have
export MANPATH="/usr/man:/usr/X11R6/man"
my manual pages are in /usr/man, but one more time even if i comment that line, nothing changes
sudo man ls -> the man page appears
man ls -> "no hay ninugna pagina sobre ls"
one thing i realized, is that before i made any changes, i try to man as normal user anything on /usr/man subfolders, and that man pages do appear, both sudo and normal user.
but ls vi sudo and other man pages only appear as root.
