OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Cant Use Mozilla Firefox - Appears Half A Second And Close
Dec 5, 2009
Since yesterday, I cant use firefox anymore. When I launch it, It appears half a second and close. I tried to remove it in yast, then install again. No result.
I just got Ubuntu installed and I cannot view video from any webpage. I have adobe downloaded and active, I even downloaded google chrome, I have all popupblockers turned off and still nothing.
This may (or may not) duplicate yester64's post but I'm trying to learn html and I've been going crazy with the <basefont /> tag. KompoZer, Opera, and Firefox all ignore it. However, any <font /> tag I use works with no problems What's really maddening is that I copied the file to the windows side and IE works wonderfully with the same file although Firefox still ignores it! I keep windows around for One and only one program - tomtom. I would cry at mozilla except that the same problem is occuring in those other non-mozilla programs.
sporadically and sometimes, right click image > save image as does not work, ie no response. If I close FF and restart, more often than not it does (same target image, natch) Anyone else have any experience here? I have tried the "advanced options" in java script under edit> prefs, but the problem persists. Would there be any point in starting from CLi and looking at/posting the output?
I installed OpenSUSE 11.3 yesterday. When I begin to use Mozilla Firefox (version automatically installed with OpenSUSE 11.3) the cursor freezes or locks up (when I move the mouse/cursor-pointer), and the only way I can do anything is turn off the computer and start over (to no avail, because it does the same thing within a a minute or so after entering Mozilla Firefox. I did not have this problem with OpenSUSE 11.2.
openSuSE gurus, after several weeks I've finally managed to get aMule to listen external calls from Mozilla browsers. To make it quick: In Seamonkey or FF do about:config and add
randomly firefox (3.59) will not close properly, using the x button will remove it from my de, but it will keep running in the background, and i cant reopen it, receiving a message stating that another ff session is still running. i have to kill its pid id manually. not a big deal but... any idea? (11.2/kde4.3.5 release 0, x86_64)
Is it safe to put my old .mozilla and .mozilla-thunderbird folders from xandros 4.2 into OSS 11.3? I have apps, emails, and settings that I would like to keep. This might seem like an over precautious question, but I've broken Xandros more than once. I would hate to do it to OSS.
after few years being limited with my pc configuration (windows OS) I realized that linux or it's distributions is the best invention in 21 century. And finally I am starting use it. openSUSE 11.4 installaition succesful, I updated it and it looks I don;t have any problems, but I got few questions.
1. How install older version of mozilla firefox internet browser here? I can't install some plugins because it's a firefox beta 12 version, for example. I am quake fan, o I like play quake live, but i can't install quake plugin, because my firefox is beta version.
2. Does I got all drivers instantly installed to my mashine? ATI video drivers, sound drivers ect??
3. Are there any How-To guides which can teach me, how I can improve my desktop? gadgets, 3D desktop ect...?
I'm fairly new to Linux and everything and still doesn't understand a lot of things about it. But as most of you may know that ..... is probably going to switch to HTML5 (so I heard) and I can not get Firefox to work with it. It is really annoying and I have flash player working but some videos require HTML5.
I uninstall unwittingly firefox from my ubuntu , i want to get it back . i download the package from mozilla site and i want to install it from the package i already download it , when i click on file named by firefox in that downloaded folder , i find that it open firefox as if i already installed it when i click to choose run in terminal
I am using centOS4-64 bit.When i play flash videos in browser,i don't get any sound however there is no problem when i use vlc for playing other stuffs. the required pluggins and their location.
I just upgraded from 9.04 to 10.04 and so far I have those problems:
1. Before, everything in my system was in English. Now, half is in English, half in another language (PCManFM, some menus etc). I tried setting up Language Support but it changes nothing.
2. Cursor themes work only when hovering the mouse over "X" buttons in the right top corner of the window. As soon as I move the mouse somewhere else, it goes back to default cursor theme, even though I tried selecting 5 different themes - same result.
4. Hibernation don't work anymore. s2disk saves image to disk and then it resumes it but computer stops on text message along the lines of "Resume completed successfully".
5. Changing volume with keyboard shotcuts no longer works.
6. Smplayer does not display picture anymore when playing movies. The view is just empty. I can only hear the soundtrack. It is using XV filter.
7. PCmanFM that used to worked flawlessly, now after going into 1 or 2 subdirectories stops reacting to clicks on file/folder list. Need to open new instance to be able to do anything and this again would become unusable after visiting 1-2 folders.

how to install firefox 3.6 on my 9.1 ubuntu. About adding various repository and the a sudo apt get and all that. I can do it that way, and I am sure it will work.
What stop me to just download the .deb package from mozilla for the version I want and install it? Will it be less integrated to the system, will it not be compatible with my 64bit ubuntu? I just find it so much simpler to download a package from the web and double click on it than going through terminal, yet no-one seems to propose this option.
I installed Ubuntu 10.04. Prior to this I had been using Ubuntu 9.10. In 10.04 I am just unable to connect to the net using Mozilla FireFox. But otherwise, Update Manager, Google Chromium are all connecting smoothly. Which implies that there is nothing wrong with my internet connection. So now that this is a Mozilla FireFox problem.
I would like to report an issue regarding Mozilla Firefox in ubuntu 10.10. Continuously, a slow performance is experienced whenever I am trying to browse through the web. It takes about 20 sec to load a page. This issue was always existed in my system even when I was using the previous version of Ubuntu, 10.04. Is there any solution about it?
first of all I need to know how to install Mozilla Firefox from the browser. It should be easy, but it has this weird tar.bz thing. Why can't Mozilla be normal? It is extremely hard to get the latest builds. I don't even know what I had to wrestle through to get to 4.0.1, which is what I am on now. Tell me the super easy way. Mozilla is awful. Also, how can I get the new beta and aurora channel switcher? I believe I can only get it if I update to a newer version which is what I am trying to do now. It says to go to about and then click "change" which is not there. So Linux really shouldn't be this complicated and frustrating.
Downloaded the above file. Also downloaded and installed an update to my existing Firefox web browser, updating it from Version 2.0.0.7 to 2.0.0.11. As predicted, Firefox now has a new security and stability update labeled 3.6.9, which I will download at my earliest opportunity. Once that is done, I will try to install each upgrade as per the suggestions to date to upgrade my Mozilla Firefox web browser from version 2.0.0.11 to 3.6.9. My hardware: ASUS Eee PC 4G (701) My operating system: Linux - Debian Distro by Xandros
Firefox 3.6.8 on Ubuntu 9.04 crashing every 2mins Tried sudo apt-get remove firefox and then sudo apt-get autoremove and finally sudo apt-get install firefox Maybe the same packages again get installed Deleted most of the bookmarks But still my firefox crashes
I've been installing one too many programs from Synaptics and Software Center and then lo and behold Mozilla Firefox is nowhere to be seen in the taskbar...what gave?
I'm curious to known if will be available or not. On the system at 64 bit i have installed the 3.6 (beta,etc.) directly from the mozilla binary. Now my system at 32 bit will be automatically update at the final release 3.6. What could happen on my system at 64 bit? Must i use the 3.7 beta since is available at 64 bit? (But in this manner i can't use some plugin because don't all plugin are supported in this version)
I'm not sure if this is the right place for this. I'm not sure which veraion of linux I have but it was the latest veraon bfor the recent update. I accidentally hit alt ctrl f11 and my comp went inyo the grub menu. I've tried startx and it does nothing. About half the commands I enter do nothing and the other half r not found or are incorrect. The only vommand thw actualley work is reboot. I searched for this and read a grub guide but it did no good.
I have Fedora 12 installed: 2.6.31.6-166.fc12.x86_64 Firefox version : Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091216 Fedora/3.5.6-1.fc12 Firefox/3.5.6
I have installed the flash-plugin using yum. Restarted firefox but still not able to play ..... videos.
[root@saurav tonan]# yum install flash-plugin Loaded plugins: download only, presto, refresh-packagekit Setting up Install Process Package flash-plugin-10.0.42.34-release.i386 already installed and latest version Nothing to do
But I am not able to see it in the plugins list, when I goto Tool >> add-ons >> plugins. I tried about login in the browser address bar, got the list, but its a lot of details, which one would tell me that the adobe flash player is installed. Later I downloaded the tar file and unzipped it and manually placed the .so file in the plugin folder as mentioned in the forums, but no luck.
