Which version of firefox are you using?
Firefox 1.5 RC3. To my credit, though, it had been working perfectly before my system started to crash a lot. Then, briefly, I could only sign in under Root. I solved that and Firefox hasn't worked under the normal user since. Well, it did briefly, actually. I also noted that I could no longer update; only the Root could.
If it is the debian version, I'm
a bit curious why would you write ./firefox to start it! If it is a
nightly or an official version from mozilla itself, make a new profile
and use that.
$ ./firefox -P
I don't really want to make a new profile, though. I've set up Firefox nicely as it is. If I need to make a new profile, I'll probably scrap the whole thing and start again. However, when I tested to see if this would work, it did. So, at least we know that Firefox CAN run under the normal user; save that I can not update. That is still only from root. I think the reboots screwed it up and I shall have to start afresh.
Do you know what the message I'm getting means?
$ ./firefox
/home/david/.gtk_qt_engine_rc:549: error: unexpected end of file, expected character `{'
./run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 6028 Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"}
Don't mind the /home/david line: I think that that is my GTK-QT-Engine mucking about. This is not causing the problem.
Thanks much.
