[opensuse] firefox 3.6.3 - preferences window has not contents??
When I try to access my firefox preferences (Edit>Preferences), the window opens, but it has no content. Has anyone else seen this?? AFAICT, with 3.6 it works fine. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (6.7°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

i have, although i'll be surprised if what caused it for me is the same thing that's causing it for you now what i had done was to install opensuse 11.2 (32-bit) from cd because i wasn't 100% sure my pc was 64-bit and i had been running 32-bit software on it for years and it worked of course, as i upgraded packages and installed things from repositories (which have no architecture specification) whatever automated routine kicks in to tell yast what to install went ahead and installed 64-bit packages because they work too -- i wound up with a hopeless mess of 32 and 64-bit software, and firefox was one of the first apps i ran across that showed problems -- the empty preferences window was one of its symptoms -- also it had a habit of freezing after visiting one or two sites the closest i came to getting firefox to work under this borked install was when i downloaded the zip file from mozilla and extracted it to my home directoy, and put a symlink to it in my ~/bin path but things still were problematic for me until i downloaded and burned the 64-bit 11.2 installer iso, re-installed, and i was able to move on to the next set of problems hth, sc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Per, 3.6.3 on 11.0 is working fine. Edit -> Preferences, it's all there. Are you sure you got all the xlrunner-XYZ packages you need? I'd try and manual reinstall and see if you get any dependency messages. However, kde3 - kcontrol and menus still has 'not' contents :p -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

I'm a bit backlevel on this machine - 10.2. Shouldn't make a difference though. 3.6 works fine.

I'm using a vanilla package straight from mozilla. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (9.6°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I don't know if this would work, but it might be worth grabbing the 11.0 packages and seeing if they can be made to install on 10.2 (maybe srpm..). I've had good luck with the /repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.0 repo. But then again, I don't see why packages straight from mozilla wouldn't be fine. Gtk or similar issue maybe?? -- David C.

My thoughts exactly. Especially when 3.6.0 works fine. Maybe I'll just have to revert to that whilst I wait for 3.6.4 :-( -- Per Jessen, Zürich (8.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

3.6.3 works fine here on 11.2 (using packages from Mozilla repo on OBS). -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
