Neither has anything to do with the problem. Something in his environment specific to Firefox like an add-on or a firewall setting is blocking it. I use that combination on at least 2 machines and have no problem at all. He says he didn't have a problem with a SUSE LiveCD but he would also have no problem with an Ubuntu LiveCD.
I'm not sure what distros have to do with Firefox working or not but I
use ArchLinux here and I use Firefox all the time. I mainly use
downloaded binaries from trunk instead of the Arch binary because I
want latest version so I can try and keep up with accessibility bug
fixes. In the case of trunk binaries, I just download the tarball and
extract into a firefox directory in my $HOME directory and run it from
there. I'm not aware of any problems doing it that way.
