[arch-general] firefox crashed, no web access after attempted fix
hi everyone i'm running 6.8 current, my problem started when firefox which had been working perfectly suddenly started crashing on startup, i don't know if it was because i shutdown the laptop with to many tab open in firefox, after many google searches i tried creating a new profile and copying overi file from a previous profile the suggested files and directories which gave me a startable firefox, my bookmark sidebar lists my bookmarks, and my addons are displayed on the toolbar, the problem is nothing happens if i type in an address, type something in the search bar or click a bookmark in the sidebar, the rotating arrow doesn't change to a cross , or if i click an addon icon either nothing happens or an empty menu is opened, the next thing i did was to backup my mozilla/firefox folder then removed the original, i sysupgraded, pkg_add -Uu, had to repeat it a couple of time thinking the repositories were not in sync after doing pkg_add -u instead the packages upgraded, i threw in a pkg_clean to tidy things up, then i pkg_delete then pkg_add firefox, i'm still unable to surf the web before or after restoring my backup mozilla/firefox directory, could i have missing libraries of software that firefox needs ? pkg_add firefox installs without a problem, i have pastebined a copy of the directory structure and a copy of the log output when i start firefox with the -p option. fox_directory http://sprunge.us/79hyB7 fox_log_output http://sprunge.us/umVBxr i am currently using netsurf as my browser but i would like firefox up and running again asap any help would be welcomed shadrock

You appear to be using OpenBSD, not Arch Linux. Perhaps try the appropriate mailing list? ~Celti
