Ubuntu :: 32-bit And 64-bit Firefox At The Same Time?

Feb 18, 2010

Is it possible to run both a 32-bit version of Firefox and a 64-bit version of Firefox at the same time?Here is my problem:WebEx requires 32-bit for Ubuntu Linux. But, I need a 64-bit OS for other software that I run.I also have 64-bit Java running Eclipse and a couple of other Swing applications with no problems. So, I don't really want to switch everything over to 32-bit.Here is what I was able to do:- I can create a separate Firefox Profile for WebEx. I launch it using the -P switch.- I can have multiple Firefox Profiles open at the same time with the --no-remote switch.- I downloaded the 32-bit version of Firefox from the Firefox website and extracted it into a directory underneath my home directory.

- I can run that version of Firefox, and I am assuming that is a 32-bit version running.The problem is that it does not load any of my plugins because they are 64-bit. I see in the terminal output these messages:LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin.so [/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64]I have a 32-bit version of Java installed at ~/bin/java/jdk1.6.0_18, and I created a link to the plugin in my 32-bit firefox plugins directory:~/bin/java/firefox/plugins$ sudo ln -s /home/skp/bin/java/jdk1.6.0_18/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.soFrom what I can tell, Firefox is not looking in that directory for Java.

I want to launch Firefox at a different time every day, and send it to a landmarked page, not my home page.

Ubuntu :: (firefox And Npviewer) X64/V9.10 'uninterruptible' Processess - All The Time

Apr 14, 2010

I'm having where processes (firefox and npviewer seem to be major culprits) just lock up taking excessive (i.e. 100% of the CPU) and state' 'uninterruptible' in the system monitor. This carries through to all my other processes (windows) and makes them unresponsive. What's worse, is when the system gets in this state, even the system monitor itself becomes 'gray' and unresponsive. Often 30 seconds later, I can get a 2 second window with which to access my system monitor (it becomes colored again) before going gray again. During that small window, I might be able to kill the offending processes.

Problem is, the system does this literally all the time. Like when I have firefox open with perhaps 4 tabs, that's all it takes to cause everything to begin locking up -- and at times, that might be the only application open that causes this system lock up. Other things that seem to trigger this is if firefox is running and the system update opens up. I am simply finding Ubuntu to just not be reliable enough, and as much as I hate the idea of switching back to windows, if I can't find a solution (that has been plaguing me for months) I don't see any other choice. Sadly, I find very little information on a solution to this problem, but, searching through the forums and on google, I can see that I am not alone.

Fedora :: Firefox Crashing All Time

Dec 20, 2010

Recently firefox has been crashing on me like crazy. I'm on Fedora 14 with the latest repo firefox version. Running firefox with the "-safe" flag doesn't help nor did reinstalling firefox using "yum reinstall firefox". According to ABRT every crash is due to: "Process /usr/lib/firefox-3.6/firefox was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV)". When run from root in terminal via "sudo firefox" with and without "-safe" after crashing the message returned to terminal reads: "/usr/lib/firefox-3.6/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 2*** Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$prog" ${1+"$@"}". The stars after 2 (I.e. "2***") are to indicate different numbers. On one run they were "2406" and on another "2538". Recently, in all instances firefox crashes right after attempting to navigate to a website (I've tried many - there is no correlation between what website I go to and if it crashes). Previously, when firefox was crashing less frequently, it occurred intermittently and wasn't correlated to any action I took.

Ubuntu :: Firefox Address-bar Autocomplete Stops Working After Some Time

Jan 6, 2010

Since I updated to Karmic, I noticed a very annoying problem that forces me to restart Firefox every 20 minutes or so: When the cursor is located inside the address bar (CRTL+L), I always type one or two characters, a drop down menu appears with most visited links that contain these characters, I press <down-arrow>, <Enter> and go to one of my usual links. I use this all the time, which allows me to go to me usual links in a second or two. The problem is that this feature stops working after browsing for some time: no drop-down menu appears and pressing the down-arrow does nothing.

The only other problem that happens in coincidence is that you have to click 2 or 3 times on the 'arrow-down' button on the right side of the address bar before you get a drop-down menu with the most visited links (this normally happens on the first click). The problem appears at random moments (typically after some 10 to 20 minutes of browsing, but sometimes earlier) and disappears when I restart FF. I tried clearing the history, but that does not change anything. Does anyone else see this problem and knows how to fix it?

My setup:
Toshiba notebook, 32 bit
up to date Karmic

FF 3.5.6, with some add-ons: adblock plus, bugmenot, all-in-one gestures, xmarks and some dictionaries, all working without any problems.

Ubuntu :: Firefox Takes Long Time When There Is No Internet Almost 2min

Jun 21, 2010

Firefox take so long more that 2 min when started and there is no internet is available (i.e. Ethernet cable is unplugged).

I need this because sometime I am away from my networks and I need FF for local testing for web development.

Debian :: Long Time With Firefox Flash Plugin?

Nov 15, 2010

after i leave firefox on for some hours (the amount of time varies between a couple of hours to a day), when i try to use flash, for example in videos, it plays the first second of the video and then goes into a sound loop of that 1 second of sound that continues even after i stop the video. it takes about 30 seconds for it to stop. at other times, if i've left a video paused in the middle and start it again after some hours, it goes through the rest of the video in just a few seconds like it is in fast forward. the sound is messed up just like in the other case.

the problem clears up completely after i restart firefox. i have tried changing the flash plugins but this usually leads to other problems. right now i'm using the default plugin file name: libflashplayer.so shockwave flash 10.1 r102 i only had this problem in debian, its been going on for months now and i have absolutely no idea what causes it to happen. it seems completely random. when i have only two or three tabs open its a slight nuisance but restarting firefox with 50 tabs open just takes too long.

Fedora :: Relevant With The Recent Versions Of Firefox Or A Waste Of Time?

Old? They've been around for a while and I wonder if they're still relevant. The following:

Code:

And adding a new integer
Code:
nglayout.initialpaint.delay

Still relevant with the recent versions of Firefox or a waste of time?

Fedora :: Try To Go Back To Add The Bug Report To This Post, Firefox Crashes, Every Single Time?

Jul 7, 2010

I'm running F 13 and today's updates included updates to Xorg, so I logged out and back in to let them take effect. Ever since then, Firefox has been repeatedly crashing, especially on certain sites. I managed to get the crash reporting tool to report it to Bugzilla, but when I try to go back to add the bug report to this post, Firefox crashes, every single time. Has anybody else found this? If somebody can get to bugzilla.redhat.com and find the report (The email address I use there is joe@zeff.us if it helps.) I'd appreciate having it added as a response to this, so that others can find it and,

I downloaded Firefox and Thunderbird from the mozilla site and unpacked them and added the executables to the main menu. When I start either of them, the respective logo jumps up and down below the cursor for more than 10 seconds after the program has finished loading. Is there an easy fix to this small but annoying issue? I run Squeeze with KDE on a Thinkpad R61.

Ubuntu :: After Log In Takes Long Time To Show Desktop, Monitor Events At Log In Time?

May 24, 2011

It takes me a while to log in the splash screen just sits there for ages before i get to the desktop. Never used to be this slow and I'm not sure why. Firstly, I'm running Ubuntu 11.04, standard DE. I do have conky starting up in a script but it has the & at the end of the line so I didn't think this would cause it (or is there some special case for log in time on how & is treated?). However as a test I will comment out the line in the script and see if it is the cause.

However just for general knowledge and in case that isn't the problem, how does one go seeing what is happening during the time from when one log's in and the desktop is displayed? Is there some kind of log that shows the date/time that can be enabled or is there a debug mode that can be enabled somehow via special keys or maybe from grub?

Ubuntu Servers :: Get Notices That There Are Updates For The Server Software From Time To Time?

Mar 29, 2010

I have several file servers in our offices and I am relatively new to Ubuntu / Linux. I get notices that there are updates for the server software from time to time. Is it typical to update everything when available or should I follow "If it ain't broke, don't fix it..." mentality?I would hate for everything to be working fine and then have an update throw me a curve.

Ubuntu Servers :: System Time Runs Slow Hareware Time Run Right?

Apr 11, 2011

I am running my Ubuntu 32 bit server on top of Windows 7 64 bit with VirualBox. It's a 2 core Atom. It's been working good for about half a year. But the last about 6 weeks the system time only in Ubuntu is going slow. About -8 per 24 hours! I can only guess because I have more things running in my Windows 7 and Ubuntu.

I can set it right by coping the hareware time to system time with this command:

Code:
hwclock --hctosys

I want to run a crontab to have that command run every minute. But it don't seem to run.

Ubuntu :: Screen / Everything Freezes From Time To Time For No Reason In Natty?

May 4, 2011

Ever since I installed Ubuntu Natty, from time to time, for no particular reason, the entire computer screen freezes, and I am forced to hold the power button on my laptop to restart things with a hard reset. I cannot explain why it happens.

Such an issue never occurred in any of the past installations and versions of Ubuntu. This is a fresh installation of Natty by the way.

Also, I can currently be running a lot or nothing and it does this. Thus, it does not matter what I am actually doing (ie, what programs I might be running).

It has occurred about 10 times since I freshly installed Natty 6 days ago.

Programming :: Function Handler Is Called One Time Only Instead 2 Times If The 2 Timers Expires At A Time

Mar 2, 2011

I am using Debian linux. I have 100 timers running. If a timer expired which will generate a signal and it was mapped to a same function handler. All the timers are mapped to one function handler. The problem is if the timer expires one at a time, the function handler called at a time. But if the 2 timers expires at a time, the function handler is called one time only instead 2 times. Is it possible to invoke the function handler as many times based on timer expirary happens simultaneoulsy?
