Firefox in RHEL6 cannot find /usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • When starting Firefox in earlier builds of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, the default browser page is not displayed:

    File not found
    
    Firefox can't find the file at /usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html.
        *   Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
        *   Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted
    
  • This was because the redhat-indexhtml package was not installed alongside firefox.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 Beta1
  • Operating system is installed with minimal installation option.

  • User elects to install firefox after the installation completes.
