(I am new to Ubuntu though have experimented with various Linux flavors in the past.) I have been struggling with this issue with Firefox 3.6.17 on Ubuntu 10.10. When I start Firefox it always loads the previous session's tabs, though I have the option set to load home page, not restore tabs. Where would it be picking this up from ?

Firefox is sometimes slow opening new tabs/switching between tabs. If I click on the kickoff application launcher button, it takes a few seconds to open, and typing something in the search makes it hang up for about 20 seconds before it does the search. Clicking on an app takes 16 seconds before the menu window closes and the program begins to start. Then it takes another 30sec-1min before the app is usable. smplayer plays video with tearing.
Like right now I tried taking a screenshot, and it tells me
Error launching /usr/share/applications/kde4/ksnapshot.desktop. Either KLauncher is not running anymore, or it failed to start the application.
while the app worked fine.
I also tried running glxgears right now, and it runs but the gears don't move, and terminal states
15 frames in 19.0 seconds = 0.789 FPS
XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0"
after 48 requests (48 known processed) with 15 events remaining.
If I'm on dolphin, and I click a video to start smplayer, it takes about 1 minute for it to start.
Memory is using 1.4GB out of 3.6GB, with 0.08GB/2GB swap
Top shows an average usage of less than 10% average. Xorg is always 25%, kwin is always 10% and then rest of the apps are less than that.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded my home machine to 11.2 and am running the regular Firefox 3.6.10 for openSUSE-11.2 (why can I still not cut and paste that infor from the dialog box, grr).
My home page is set to - file:///home/dhoworth/public_html/localstart.html
But when Firefox starts it shows instead a directory listing of - file:///home/dhoworth/
If I then press the home button, it shows my home page. If I start a new window from an existing one, it shows my home page.
why it isn't shown on startup?
My Debian Lenny's Firefox prefs.js file looks like this:
Code:
Now I am trying to set the home page i.e. browser.startup.homepage variable (in red color) with my own URL using a script. Here is what I am trying to do but it is not working:
Code:
Note that the in the original file (prefs.js), the URL could be set to *anything* and not necessarily www.abc.com. So I need to search for the variable user_pref("browser.startup.homepage" and then set the entire line with my own supplied line (with the desired URL).
I have xfce on my machine, running lucid lynx. For some weird reason, I can't change my firefox home page. I've changed it to the same one time and again in preferences, but every time I open firefox, it shows all the files in my home directory, including hidden ones. I uncheck the "show hidden files box", change it again in "preferences", but it still does this. And the home page in "preferences" is set to the right page I want; firefox just won't go there when I start it up. I really don't want my home directory in plain view like that; how do I make firefox recognize my settings?

View 2 Replies View Related10.04; 64 bit In Firefox, the size of the fonts varies greatly from site to site. Some are too small to read, others huge. Some headings and menus overlap.Screen size: 1152 x 864
My settings are:
Proportional: serif 14
Serif: Times New Roman
Sans serif: Arial
Monospace: Courier New 14
On FC11 64 bit with Adobe flash plugin for Linux installed, I see segfault errors from "npviewer" in /var/log/messages. The only browser I have tried yet, Firefox, has glitches every now and then. Sometimes it shows the title of a page in a tab, but the page is blank. This can even happen when I try the Google main page. Is it true that npviewer has something to do with Adobe flash? Is there a way to fix the problem? If it is caused by Adobe flash, is there a different plugin that will replace Adobe flash player?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was having a problem with the tabs in Firefox 4, on Ubuntu 11.04 x64. No matter what I did, whether it was clicking the "X" button, hitting Ctrl+W, looking for a "Close Tab" option in the menus, I couldn't close any tabs in Firefox 4. I started disabling extensions, and first, I disabled the "Global Unity Integration" extension, and lo and behold, after a restart of Firefox, the problem is no more.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have Ubuntu 10.04 x86 on my laptop. I think I had this problem with older versions, but I can't remember. Needless to say it's been going on for a while. Firefox is set explicitly to go to my home page [URL] when opening, but it frequently (50% or better) instead opens my tabs from my last session.
How can I fix this?
I'm still having trouble with the computer freezing if I try to close Mozilla-Firefox with multiple tabs open. (and I often forget to close them individually)Is there a solution to this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have come across an old bug in Firefox, and I have tried all suggested solutions in the web and still cannot solveI am using Fedora 10 x86_64, and Firefox 3.0.15.Originally, Firefox always ask me if I want to save the tabs when I clicked the close button.One day, I accidentally checked the "Do not show me this again" box, and then Firebox never ask me to save the tabs.I have tried the following without success.
Edit --> Preferences --> Tabs --> Warn me when closing multiple tabs

As I've updated Firefox to version 3.0.5, this problem has appeared:en I close Firefox it asks whether it should save open tabs state. I answer "YES", but when I restart Firefox I see only a blank page...Deleting .mozilla folder in my home directory didn't change this behavior.

I have apache installed and I have it all setup so that when I create a user, in their home directory i created a folder called public_html and then that user can upload web content. Users then can browse to their site by going to[URL],,.How can I get apache to show a different or default page if the user does not have a index.html file in their public_html folder. Cause if they dont, you get a 401 saying you dont have permissions to view, etc. So id like apache to default to something else if the user doesnt have a index.html.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHaving logged in (to Fedora 11) with a terminal session, what command do I give to spawn the Gnome GUI desktop environment? Background: I'm running two Fedora boxes: one local, and one at the other end of my building (on fast LAN). I have full control/ownership of both boxes.
On the local box, I log-in to my vanilla F11 build, and I get the Gnome GUI automatically. Then I can open a terminal window, 'ssh -X -l myself remotebox; cinelerra' to run Cinelerra nicely in local desktop windows.
But sometimes I want to see my typical user desktop for the remote box. Now, IF the remote box is ALREADY running Gnome, I can VNC to it, etc. But, once having logged-out of the remote box, VNC closes and won't show me a GUI login page. (BTW: The remote box usually has no monitor, as well as being out of reach. So schlepping over to logon to it is a real pain.) So, here's the thing: I can login (to terminal session) and can bring up programs in local windows. But WHAT program do I launch in order to bring up Gnome??

View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen using gt5 in various directories on my system (including my home directory) I get blank results.
If I limit the max-depth enough, I get results. For example, in my home directory 'gt5 --max-depth 2' produces a listing, while 'gt5 --max-depth 3' produces a blank page.
I've noticed that the temporary html file that gets created in tmp (such as '/tmp/gt5.9035.kJVM08Y9/gt5.html' is a zero-byte file.
I can successfully do a du in the same directory (which is what I thought gt5 was using), so I'm not sure what to check?
Where can I find the wallpaper that is similar to the image in the Debian home page. Not the one in the smaller windows (in the image), but the part of the image which has "The universal operating system" written.

Is there something in 'about:config' that would control this and what do I search for?
