Hi Wolfgang, thanks for the reply. I'll put my comments inline below: On 09/28/2010 12:09 AM, Wolfgang Rosenauer wrote:
Do you see anything on the console when Firefox locks? (any kdecore error message might be unrelated).
None what so ever. When the lock occurs -- it is total and complete. Mouse freezes, keyboard freezes -> the box is dead. No ssh into it from the outside. The only thing to do is smash the power button for 5 secs to kill it. (It's my Tosh laptop so I can't just pull the plug :-)
The package you were looking for is probably called mozilla-kde4-integration on your system btw.
Ahh... found it: 22:29 zephyr:~> rpm -qa | grep mozilla | sort ca-certificates-mozilla-1.62-2.3.noarch mozilla-js192-1.9.2.10-0.4.1.i586 mozilla-kde4-integration-0.6.2-1.9.i586 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ <snip> I've just removed it and I'm giving it a try: 22:29 zephyr:~> sudo rpm -e mozilla-kde4-integration Wohoo - Firefox works again!! That was it!
Do you use the default or oxygen theme (or any other)?
I usually use either Blackfox, Blackfox Blue, Revelation (3.6.3), or Strike. I've used them all for at least a year w/o any issues.
Firefox just hangs, correct? If so, could you try to run in gdb and get a backtrace where it hangs?
See the "dead" box comment above.
(http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=openSUSE:Bugreport_Mozilla) The fact that it hangs when you start typing the url bar could be interesting but not sure. Probably the places sqlite database is corrupted and sqlite hangs on it. Could you please try another profile?
No need - you hit the nail on the head above. it was mozilla-kde4-integration that was causing FF to crash under KDE3. Sheesh -- I should have known. It's running now -- can you think of anything else you want to see? If so, let me know. I'm glad to help. Also, while we are on the issue. Thunderbird (the latest in 11.3) has an issue when it offers to "Compact all folders" after you delete a few messages. If you use threaded mode, and choose "yes" to let it compact the folder, then it automatically switches to "unthreaded" mode. I don't know if this is from the SuSE additions or from Mozilla. It first appeared 2 versions ago, was fixed in the next-to-last version, but is broken again in: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.9) Gecko/20100914 SUSE/3.1.4 Thunderbird/3.1.4 I have a bug open with mozilla that has all the details.
