I was really looking forward to Firefox 4, especially to trying the hardware acceleration. I'm using nvidia proprietary driver which is the combination which *should* work, according what I've read. However it doesn't. Firefox doesn't even recognize my graphics card, when I type about:support, there is no information about my graphics. So I wonder, is there anyone who got this working?
View 9 RepliesI recently installed Debian Jessie on my computer with M2A-VM motherboard and Radeon X1250 graphics card. The problem I am having is some games are running extremely slow, Torc and Mame64. I ran glxgears and it displayed gears running nicely. I ran glxinfo and it said direct rendering yes. It also displayed a lot of lined ending with none or slow. How I can make the graphics card run faster?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm running 11.3 with KDE. I'm not sure when this happened, but I can no longer run firefox. If I click on the firefox icon, the bouncing icon appears, runs for a minute and then disappears. If I actually type in /usr/bin/firefox, nothing happens, and I get the prompt back in a fraction of a second.
I note that /usr/bin/firefox is a softlink to /usr/lib/firefox/firefox.sh which apparently runs the _actual_ executable: /usr/lib/firefox/firefox. I tried running that directly with exactly the same result.
I can run firefox normally if logged in as root. I can also run it via /usr/bin/firefox and /usr/lib/firefox/firefox. I tried uninstalling, reinstalling firefox. No change. I'm running 3.10.xxxx and the problem _may_ have started with a recent update to 3.10 , but I can't be certain. I downloaded firefox 4.0 beta and it works, but it doesn't support many addons (like flash), so it's not very useful to me.
I can't enable 3d acceleration because when I enable the Desktop effects, and I exit the window, they are not active.. I enter in the desktop effects configuration again, and I can see that the option "enable" is uncheck.. I'm a newbie.. Can you explain me how do I get the driver for my Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT (512 MB of Graphic RAM)? Do I have enough power to run 3d?

I have a AGP Radeon HD3650 RV635. I've tried using the ATI Catalyst 9.12 drivers, and they work ok with 2D/3D DECCELERATION. 3D works but it's extremely slow, maximizing a window takes 10secs, videos skip when played in fullscreen. Disabling Compiz doesn't help much, in 2D mode, windows redraw slowly.
I'm trying to install the open radeonhd drivers, and so far, it's booting into gnome, but it's barely usable. There is no 2D acceleration (log says ShadowFB only) and glxinfo reports:
Code:

I installed Suse 11.4 and have a couple of questions.
I installed the newest Nvidea driver for linux but when I look under system info it sais 3D driver: swrast (No 3D Acceleration) (7.10)) How can I turn this on?
Also under CPU info the speed switches between 800MHz, 1400MHz and the normal 2.6Ghz (x4 for the Quad Core). Is something wrong or does it shows how much the system is using current?
Lastly my pc shows the following:
OS: Linux 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop x86_64, Current user: robertjan@linux-18xg, System: openSUSE 11.4 (x86_64), KDE: 4.6.00 (4.6.0) "release 6"
Since I see x86_64 how do I know if I installed the x64 version which I downloaded?
I get the following error when trying to enable Hardware Acceleration in VLC:

I've never got if, after enabling the 3d acceleration in virtualbox and installing the guest additions in safe mode, you still need to install the original drivers (catalyst in my case). Do know that by chance?

The video acceleration is clearly not enabled since I can practically watch each pixel drawn. (Well, a bit hyperbolic, but really slow.) Another system, same hardware, had this slow video problem and at one point required a complete OS re-installation. The slow video refresh went away. So there is some way to configure the graphics+display to enable acceleration at install time.
I'm using openSuse 11.3 with KDE 4.4.4. My graphics card is an Asus EAH 5450 with an ATI radeon HD 5450 GPU. I'm using the opensource radeon driver. When I open sysinfo:/ in Konqueror, I see the following info:
Vendor: ATI Technologies Inc
Model:
2D driver: radeon
3D driver: swrast (No 3D Acceleration) (7.8.2))
How do I switch on 3d acceleration without installing the proprietary driver from ATI/AMD? I know this must be possible because on another computer, I have also openSuse 11.3 with KDE 4.4.4 and an ATI radeon HD 4350 installed and it has 3d enabled directly after installation of openSuse with the opensource radeon driver.
anyone seeing Firefox (version 6 and 7)screen corruption using the ATI binary blob with hardware acceleration enabled ? N.B Works fine when hardware acceleration is disabled.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've experienced the fairly annoying firefox error where it refuses to start the GUI. If there were no active firefox processes, nothing happened when I started it, but it did "start", meaning that I got the "firefox is already running" when I tried again. I found a fix to this, which was to delete some or all files in the ~/.mozilla/firefox directory. I now have 2 different problems. Number one is that the problem keeps reoccurring and I'd like to know what's causing it. The second problem is that even when I've "fixed" the issue, I still can't run firefox from scripts or click links. I get the "firefox is already running" error instead of a new tab or window.

I'm running Fedora 14 and I've just updated from Firefox 3.6.15 to Firefox 4 (rpm from remi repo). Overall, it's faster, sleek and running great on KDE . However, I've detected a minor issue. In order to run Firefox with a plugin installation free from nspluginwrapper (which seems to break partially when there is a major flash update), I switched from Firefox 3.6.15 64 bit to 32 bit and got the 32 bit versions of all the plugins. All was running mostly fine. When I upgraded to Firefox 4 32 bit, the two versions (32 and 64 bit) of xulrunner2 got installed somehow simultaneously. With the previous version, that didn't pose a problem. However, seeing as Firefox 4 is launched by xulrunner2, the 64 bit version takes precedence over the 32 bit one and consequently Firefox 4 32 bit is run as 64 bit app (?!) and no 32 bit plugins are loaded. By removing the 64 bit xulrunner2, everything is running as intended. Nevertheless, in the future, if xulrunner2 is used to run other XUL-based apps, as long as the 64 bit one is installed, it'll take precedence (in a 64 bit environment), which is fine, and anyone facing my situation will need to have a way to have both versions installed at the same time and specify that the 32 bit version should be used by firefox.

The only "solution" to convince Firefox to start again is to wipe her ~/.mozilla directory, but by doing this, she loses all her bookmarks and settings.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have 2 Linux systems - both running Fedora 14 and fully updated. They are sitting side by side on the same network.

If I close the instance of Firefox running on system A before trying to start one on System B, then the new window is actually running on system B.
This doesn't happen when I run Thunderbird on different systems. What is happening to Firefox that it performs this way?
In Iceweasel, WhatsApp does not properly work, because you can't download images. Oddly, that doesn't happen on Firefox, so I'm considering using it.
As Firefox is not in the repos, I downloaded the tar.bz2 file from Mozilla and uncompressed it at my home. What I don't know is, what will happen when a new version is released? It has the option to autoupdate enabled but... will it be able to do so without root privileges?
I have downloaded Firefox 45.0.1.
I put the unzipped contents into my home dir.
I ran fire fox 45.0.1 with no further action - without installing Firefox 45.0.1.
All that is needed to run Firefox 45.0.1 is in place from Ice weasel.
Question: Will there be any ill side-affects by using the files from Ice Weasel to run Firefox 45.0.1? Should I UN-install Ice Weasel and install Firefox 45.0.1?
One side-affect that I have observe is that I can not make Firefox my default. Every time I start Firefox 45.0.1, I get a pop up asking if I want to make this my default browser.
