[arch-general] Issues with Firefox 6 not starting after update
The topic says it all. I recently pacman -Syu'd and firefox has refused to start after this. I've tried rolling back to firefox 4 (and xulrunner 2) but I just get an error about XPCOM not loading. Trying to start firefox 6 just yields hanging. I've tried running firefox with LD_DEBUG=all and I've uploaded it here: http://lusitania.logik.li/files/firefox.log . Any help would be appreciated. Pointers about how successfully rollback to firefox 4 are also an acceptable substitute. Thanks, -- Samuel Baldwin - logik.li

Yup. Wasn't sure what else to do with it. On Sun, Aug 21, 2011 at 3:37 AM, 甘露(Gan Lu) <rhythm.gan@gmail.com> wrote:
Can't start even with a new profile? It seems an add-on problem to me.
I tried moving .mozilla to .mozilla-old and starting firefox, but it didn't change anything. On Sun, Aug 21, 2011 at 3:30 AM, Karol Blazewicz <karol.blazewicz@gmail.com> wrote:
What went wrong when you downgraded to Firefox 4 via ARM?
"Couldn't load XPCOM." I've uploaded the output of "LD_DEBUG=files firefox" here: http://lusitania.logik.li/files/firefox4.log (28K). On Sun, Aug 21, 2011 at 3:37 AM, Ionut Biru <ibiru@archlinux.org> wrote:

xulrunner links to old hunspell and it can't be loaded
I tried installing old hunspell too but I got the same error. -- Samuel Baldwin - logik.li

But why are you trying to downgrade to FF4 instead of FF5?

Well, I had never used FF5 so I have no idea if it'd work. FF4 worked like a charm until I updated everything. I'll give that a spin though. -- Samuel Baldwin - logik.li

I had tried it with both just to be safe. It doesn't make a discernible difference with firefox 6. -- Samuel Baldwin - logik.li

Shorter would be $ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libcanberra.so.0 firefox mar77i

That was already discussed, and regardless it didn't help. -- Samuel Baldwin - logik.li

Me neither! Firefox doesn't say anything, running with LD_DEBUG=files yields: http://lusitania.logik.li/files/firefox6.log The super large logfile linked in the first email contains the output of LD_DEBUG=all. -- Samuel Baldwin - logik.li

Nope, no window ever comes up. It'll just sit there for ages.
have you check to see if there is another firefox process running?
Yes. There are none. -- Samuel Baldwin - logik.li
