[SOLVED] Firefox3 from ABS (bouncing icon)

ljshap · 2008-06-20 21:25:10

I installed Firefox3 from the ABS using makepkg. The install went fine but when I run it from the menu it starts up with a floating icon with "tail trails" continuing for about a minute. Firefox is usable but the incon keeps floating and will continue even if I close firefox. The firefox menu entry is a link to /usr/share/applications.

The install also provides a file in /opt/mozilla/bin/firefox3 which starts firefox perfectly. I created a link to this file which starts firefox fine albeit with a generic icon.

The above isn't a big deal, but I was curious if anybody is seeing this.

Using KDE, I presume?

Right-click on that link in the menu, choose Edit Item and disable launch feedback.

Launch feedback and bouncing cursors annoy the crap out of me.

I am using KDE and it works perfectly now.
