Fix chmsee error on Linux

When i updated my Linux ( fedora 15 lovelook ) chmsee stopped working and i tried other chm viewers but they do not show special characters and the chm file looks like a mass.



After googling for this problem for a while a figured that no one got a solution for this so i decided to take it on my own and i finally ( Sure thanks to Allah ) fixed it.

What is going wrong?
The problem that fully update updates every package that has an update and unfurtionatily it updates mozilla firefox

Mozilla firefox 6.0 uses xulrunner and so chmsee does but chmsee uses  xulrunner-2.0.1-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm ( and firefox 4.0 uses it ) but firefox 6.0 uses xulrunner.x86_64 0:6.0.2-1.fc15 that is not compatible with chmsee and it will crash

The good news that I got the solution which is you need to setup xulrunner-2.0.1-1.fc15.x86_64.rpm and also firefox 4.0 since 6.0 won't work

To do that use this command:
sudo yum downgrade xulrunner
What does this mean?
1- sudo & yum
Everyone know about it
2-  downgrade
This will uninstall the current version on the package and install the previous version of that package which in our case what will solve the problem.
 3- xulrunner
Tha name of the package that we want to downgrade.
