My pc went belly up with Windows and refused to install that OS again. I am now using Linux in the form of Ubuntu Dapper.
The Linux problem of clicking on View resulting in no action happens to me and the fixes listed in the FAQs fire up Firefox but then it falls apart as Firefox cannot find the appropriate file. The error message says that it cannot find the file with the url

///home/jim/AuctionSieve/%22file:////home/jim/AuctionSieve/tmp/view01.html%22

which is not surprising really! I cannot find a way round this (apart from the obvious route of editing the URL) as my knowledge is not good enough.
Can anyone help to get my AuctionSieve working properly? I have tried installing AuctionSieve through Wine and CrossOver Linux but without success.
Many thanks in advance.

What's your exact -DBROWSER= set to?
