After the xulrunner update about 48 hours ago my Firefox does not start up correctly. Running openSuse 11.0 64bit with Gnome.

When I start it I get no error messages, but a small blank window almost off the top-left-hand corner of the screen. If I close that I get a blank window the size of my normal Firefox window which closes after a second or so. Starting with -safe-mode does not affect this behaviour.

I have tried downgrading to version 3.0.9 (I could not downgrade to a compatible xulrunner for that) and 3.0.8 which displays the same symptoms. I can sort-of-survive with Opera for a while, but I will appreciate suggestions as to how to restore Firefox...

Please let us know first which combination didn't work with package names and version numbers. Of interest are the mozilla-xulrunner190 and MozillaFirefox package versions.

Thanks for the reply: I am currently running as follows:   misbehaviour as described above   no xulrunner in normal or root execution path

rpm -q mozilla-xulrunner190 MozillaFirefox

should be 1.9.0.10 and 3.0.0.10 respectively.

If not, run "zypper up" and let it install the online updates.

Ciao, Marcus

The above just to be sure (I'm not aware of an update bug though but who knows). Do you use en_US or any other locale?

I tried all that and ended up with exactly the same behaviour as before (small red message then larger window whihc closes after a second.) I installed openSUSE with en_GB (and a German keyboard.) LANG is set to en_GB.UTF-8 , but LC_ALL is unset. While looking for mozilla-things in yast, I noticed Gnome's epiphany browser which I have never used. That starts up with the openSUSE home page, but closes "unexpectedly" after a second or so with no error messages. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
