Firefox updates 3.0.2 / 2.0.0.17

[Fitzcarraldo]

^Tried those, and then 3.0.3 would run but hang at the loading of the Mozilla Firefox 3.0.3 welcome page, and finally would crash with a segmentation fault:

Segmentation fault

Even tried merging mozilla-firefox-bin and that didn't work either. I've checked all the symlinks, and they're all OK. Emerged nspluginwrapper again, with and without nsplugin USE flag enabled, and tried a few other things, but to no avail. Anyway, I again did:

Code: Select all

emerge -C mozilla-firefox
emerge -1v =mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.17

and, as before, 2.0.0.17 works with no problems. The terminal messages for 2.0.0.17 are shown below, and you can see that the same error messages are displayed as for 3.0.3, so the cause of the segmentation fault in the case of 3.0.3 must be something else.

Code: Select all

Mozilla Firefox is now on my list of bad applications! Mind you, 3.0.3 works fine under Vista on one of my PCs.

[wolfden]

give firefox-bin a try - it will work.

I have no idea what gentoo has done to Firefox, but I'm not happy with 3.0.x either. Windows, works fine and also archlinux it works fine. If you find the problem, I'm all ears.

Even tried merging mozilla-firefox-bin and that didn't work either.

I had no luck with that either, wolfden.

I haven't done much searching yet, but have noticed some posts about it on other forums, so it's not an SL-specific or Gentoo-specific problem.

[wolfden]

oh my

I don't understand it myself 2.x works fine but 3.x, augh
