Firefox, less responsive than before [fixed]

polarrr · 2005-04-07 13:11:15

Hello everyone! I am experiencing a slight annoyance here with firefox. The annoyance I speak of is...well, when I click on the close button, it takes a second or two to close the app. It used to close instantly before. I am not sure if it started with updates of some sort since I ran pacman -Syu almost everyday. It's not a huge deal, but annoying nonetheless. I was wondering if anyone is experiencing the same thing or it's just me? Or if anyone knows a work around. I'm using fluxbox-devel by the way. For the reference, other apps close instantly. I haven't really updated any extensions recently, so I don't think that's the problem. Only thing that's been changing is just bookmarks, so. Anyway let me know if you guys know anything about it. Thank you

ive run firefox, updated the full system and also run a full sysupdate via pacman. No problems for me closing down firefox. Same as it ever was.

have you tried starting firefox from the commandline/terminal ?

maybe it will throw out some blurb if its taking offense at something.

If you've posted in the wrong forum, im sure some kindhearted Mod / Advisor will prune it, but as your asking if Pacman or an Arch update has rendered it wobbly ......

Oh crap :oops: I had few Arch forum pages open and I wasn't paying attention when I clicked "new post". Sorry about that.

Sorry about that. Ah I got it fixed by the way. I uninstalled firefox, and installed it again, but it didn't fix it, so I just looked at pacman.log and manually re-installed all packages that were updated since a week ago. Not sure exactly which package(s), but apparently something wasn't settling down right. After re-installing a batch of packages, firefox went back to its normal self again.

hmmm... how very odd... my firefox *still* has issues when libgnome is installed... it's impossible to track down... I just gave up and made sure I never have libgnome installed.... *shrug*
