serious problem with Firefox :-(

Jacek Poplawski · 2006-03-27 19:19:44

My Firefox started to crash, or it just closes itself.
For instance try to open plfoto.com, website opens but then Firefox window closes :-(
Is it working for you?
I use mozilla-firefox 1.5.0.1-3 and flashplugin 7.0.63.0-1.

Run it from terminal ( with firefox command) and post the ourput u get

shadowhand · 2006-03-27 19:39:02

Site opens fine here. Firefox 1.5 from Current.

Jacek Poplawski · 2006-03-27 19:39:53

It segfaults, no more info available.

_Gandalf_ · 2006-03-27 19:49:03

Try using another profile just for testing do

mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla-orig

if it worked then u need to re-make your profile, look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion you get the idea on how to re-make the profile...

ubuntu wiki wrote:

cd ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default
mkdir ~/Desktop/ffsettings
cp bookmarks.html cert8.db cookies.txt formhistory.dat key3.db signons.txt history.dat mimeTypes.rdf ~/Desktop/ffsettings

or mayby use strace to find out whats the problem

Hey im having the same problem.

Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

Its was happening to me with my last install of arch some times.

It only just started happenening since i installed the flash plugin but i dout that it has anything to do with it since it have viewed any flash sites since then.

Also it just seems to happen at random. Hmmm

P.S whats strace?

Just got this running it from root:

/opt/mozilla/lib/firefox-1.5.0.1/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 2902 Segmentation fault

syd · 2006-03-28 10:05:23

I think its a problem with SCIM.

Jacek Poplawski · 2006-03-28 18:14:49

I tried to:
- downgrade Firefox
- downgrade flashplugin
- erase .mozilla profile

I had impression that it was working correctly when I erased profile and removed flashplugin, but when I bring profile back or install flashplugin - it started segfaulting again.

Could you tell me what else can I check?

I never had such problem, now I just can't browse some websites.... :-(

Jacek Poplawski · 2006-03-28 18:28:24

What do you mean by "SCIM"?

ralvez · 2006-03-28 18:40:12

Try re-naming the ./firefox to something like ./ffox.
Then start firefox again,naturally, it will not find your /home/yourname/.firefox and will "think" it is a new installation. It will terefore re-create the ./firefox and now you can try to re- install your plugins ... see if that fixes the problem.
If it does you can then delte ./ffox, if it does not you can re-instate it as the problem is somewhere else.

Hope this helps.

Made a new profile and it seems to be going well.

lanrat · 2006-03-29 12:50:28

It happened to me several times after firefox or extensions upgrade. What I did was to start firefox from xterm with any parameter (even not existing one) or start it with a different profile (-P). The second time I start it with my default profile it just works (until the next upgrade :-)). I guess this can be caused by one of the extensions but don't know which one.

Jacek Poplawski · 2006-03-29 17:48:49

Just like I wrote before - I tried to delete profile (and even use complete different account) - and it didn't help.
Looks like I am just out of luck.
Time to switch to Konqueror :-(

Just install gtk-engines !

Jacek Poplawski · 2006-03-29 22:28:13

I installed gtk-engines, no change.

Jacek Poplawski · 2006-04-01 08:27:54

Finally I found the reason for segfault.

There is a library called dbus.
I realized that my gnome applications are linked to non-existing libdbus-1.so.1, I tried to update libdbus, but it was current...

So I linked:
/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.1 -> libdbus-1.so.2
And now Firefox is stable.

Do you know why Firefox uses this library? Or gnome?

And why applications uses libdbus-1.so.1 and there is libdbus-1.so.2 in current package?

There are 3 libs not found But there is no libdbus

lanrat · 2006-04-01 12:18:59

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.1
/usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.1 is owned by dbus 0.50-8

Jacek Poplawski · 2006-04-01 15:13:43

I have dbus 0.61-2, that explains a lot.
