Hi Everyone !
Two days ago I've installed Arch and now Im so excited . Of course there was few problems but they are gone so far but.... I cant run firefox unfortunately. I installed firefox by typing "pacman -S firefox" and everything was ok unitil I tried to run Firefox. When I type "firefox" in console (im using fluxbox at this moment) I got that message:
root@mlody ~# firefox
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/firefox/libxpcom.so:
libffi.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.
Ive tried google this but only found something about sym links and I dont know what is symbolic links. Pls dont hurt me .

be sure you are fully up to date. pacman -Syu
you should have libffi installed from firefox dependencies:
firefox->gtk2->libcups->libtiff
Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
Offline
$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libffi.so.5
/usr/lib/libffi.so.5 is owned by libffi 3.0.10-1
You need to make sure your system is upgraded and to install libffi
$ sudo pacman -Syu libffi

Still nothing.
My Arch is fully updated. I tried to reinstal gt2k, libcups and libtiff and still nothing. There was of course installed from firefox dependencies.
And the question is where is Firefox "folder"? It should be in /home like fluxbox and mc but he isn't. When I use type I got: firefox is /usr/bin/firefox
Anyway after type "sudo pacman -Syu libffi" I got message that total download size is 0 Mb so it is fully updated I think. But:
Total Download Size: 0.00 MB
Total Installed Size: 375.25 MB
Proceed with installation? [Y/n] Y

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
initscripts: /etc/profile.d/locale.sh exists in filesystem
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.
I typed "pacman -Syu filesystem --force" And my firefox is running:)!!!
But I have another question/problem - why its run so slow? For exmaple if I double-click on firefox tab its minimazing like "falling curtain". I've installed drivers for my intel G865 Video chipset and I dont have any graphics glitch. Its just run so slowly...I uncheck opaque Windows Moving but this only help litle when I have to move window. Any idea?

I need to create xorg.cong or what?

firstly, the news entry said to do pacman -S filesystem --force and NOT -Su --force.
i suggest to check pacman -Qk to see if you lost files.

My graphics is Intel 82845G Video
Now everything is ok - I just have problem with graphics performance. How I can check that my graphics performance is ok? For exmaple if I double-click on firefox tab its minimazing like "falling curtain".

I have a particularly irritating laptop which has to use bumblebee to get the Nvidia graphics working... and consequently there are now issues I have not resolved with pacman -Suy.
I upgraded firefox, vlc, chromium and upon reboot firefox was broken with the following error:
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/lib/firefox/libxpcom.so:
libxcb-aux.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.
I first searched all over for the libxcb-aux.so.0 file then upgraded all my multilibs and xcb stuff and it was still broken so I did the following:
ln -s /usr/lib/libxcb-util.so /usr/lib/libxcb-aux.so.0
That fixed it for me.

ln -s /usr/lib/libxcb-util.so /usr/lib/libxcb-aux.so.0
not the right way. The right way is to fully update your system and if is not fixed they try the find out what library still links to old xcb-util by using the command from post 5 and then pacman -Qo /path/to/soname.
just as hint, be sure you have startup-notification from extra
