I think my question is quite polite, isn't it ? i have already spent some time to find a solution, before posting it. I never post something without trying to find a solution by myself.
And i m sorry if you don't know too, maybe it would have been nice not to reply then, don't you think ?
Firefox was working well in the morning, and i expected maybe a wrong library installed in the day, and that i was not the only one to have it.
Sincerely

You question was polite, I never said it wasn't, however you did not provide any information that would allow others to know what you have tried and help you. If you read the page that is linked in the other thread you certainly have read this part:

Be precise and informative about your problem

• Describe the symptoms of your problem or bug carefully and clearly.

• Describe the environment in which it occurs (machine, OS, application, whatever). Provide your vendor's distribution and release level (e.g.: “Fedora Core 7”, “Slackware 9.1”, etc.).

• Describe the research you did to try and understand the problem before you asked the question.

• Describe the diagnostic steps you took to try and pin down the problem yourself before you asked the question.

• Describe any possibly relevant recent changes in your computer or software configuration.

• If at all possible, provide a way to reproduce the problem in a controlled environment.

Do the best you can to anticipate the questions a hacker will ask, and answer them in advance in your request for help.

If you look carefully you will see you have provided none of this. I will also quote for you a part of the Code of conduct which you should be familiar with and says the following:

When asking questions, provide as much information as possible, including error messages, terminal output, logs, what you have previously tried, what documentation and searches you have attempted, and related configuration files.
