Can you maybe find that message in /var/log/syslog
or somewhere in /var/log/ or dmesg?

I really don't anything about firewalls but if I correct understud what
I was read on the net Firehol corresponding with iptables.

'iptables -L' will list all rules so maybe somebody from the list will
notice something.

On this site http://pwet.fr/man/linux/administration_systeme/firehol is
written:
'firehol stop' "Stops a running iptables firewall by running
CW/etc/init.d/iptables stop. This will allow all traffic to pass unchecked."

So you can stop him and check is it problem in him or somewhere else.

Your iptables are empty so they don't "killing" google earth.
Do you get some errors if you start google earth from shell?
