Firefox-Nightly crashes because of libgnomevfs2-0

I can regenerate the crash whenever i download something/open the download window or open the general settings tab under preferences.

I would probably have to report this bug as a libgnomevfs problem? but I was thinking if there was a replacement or a fix any1 was aware of?

error msg:

firefox-nightly: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/libfile.so: undefined symbol: gnome_vfs_unescape_string

You can post this in the AUR too: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php? … ox-nightly

I have the same problem with the Aurora release since the last update.

Edit: Looks like there's a bug submitted here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668997

Not the same bug. The problem you indicate happens when you press download. This is by pressing preferences. The above problem is solved by deleting the download.sqlite.

I also I have this bug, gnome3, firefox8.0a1

Re: Firefox-Nightly crashes because of libgnomevfs2-0

I just ran into this as well (like 2 seconds ago).  i am not sure exactly which package in Arch is causing this problem, but i can at least narrow it down for you all significantly (down to 15 packages!). the reason being i didn't have this problem until after installing gnome-python-extras and all of it's dependencies, just a few minutes ago.... So, as soon as i removed all of that junk firefox-nightly started working again. I thought i would search the Arch Forum quickly and low and behold ~ here is a thread where Archer's might want to know about this

here's the list of suspects;

gnome-python-extras
python2-egg 
python2-gda 
python2-gksu2 
python2-gtkhtml2 
python2-gtkspell
gtkspell
libgda 
libgnomeui 
libgtkhtml
gtksourceview2
libbonoboui 
libmysqlclient 
libunique 
postgresql-libs

I don't know which package it is, but feel free to figure it out, if that's your cup of tea

cheers

Re: Firefox-Nightly crashes because of libgnomevfs2-0

A bug report about this was filed against iceweasel and was redirected to libgnomevfs:  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=626076

A workaround seems to be to comment out the line file: file in /etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules/default-modules.conf. I can confirm that this works for me, but (as with the posters in the ticket) I don't what other applications (if any) will be affected by this.

Edit:
The FF bug report mentioned above (668997) has been marked a dupe of this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=669440

The cause of that issue appears to be slightly different (downloading any file), but the error message is the same and some commenters mention it occurring with Preferences dialog windows, the same issue we are having.

Re: Firefox-Nightly crashes because of libgnomevfs2-0

same problem here at opening preferences (Only at General Tab). the problem is with gnome-library or firefox? should we report this at their bugzilla?
