Version 32.0.3 also fails to work. There is a VERY LONG pause after the first window is put up, that makes one believe that perhaps it has forgotten all about the other windows and tabs, but eventually they start loading, and then it all disappears and the FF crash window comes up, as usual...
I THINK that all of these RecordMyDesktop recordings are Ogg Theora, but in any case, they play with either Gnome MPlayer or SMPlayer... ** Attachment added: "And here is 32.0.3 also failing to work." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1368956/+attachment/4216626/+files/RMD_FF_32.0.3_NotOK.ogv -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1368956 Title: I have been unable to use FF versions after 28 - my windows/tabs never finish loading, and FF crashes. Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Each time a new FireFox version comes out, I install it, and then end up un-installing it, as it is unable to finish loading up my windows and tabs. When this happened the first time, with version 29, I had to search the internet to find a version 28 for Ubuntu that I could install. Since then, I just keep it in Downloads, and re-install that one with GDebi when the newest FF again doesn't work... I don't know what the problem is, but something basic changed with version 29, and remained that way ever since. I will attach and add RecordMyDesktop recordings of both version 28 working, and version 32 not working. -------------------------------------------- scott@scott-AsusM2N68-AM-Plus:~$ uname -a Linux scott-AsusM2N68-AM-Plus 3.13.0-35-generic-tuxonice #62~ppa1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 2 06:22:52 UTC 2014 i686 athlon i686 GNU/Linux scott@scott-AsusM2N68-AM-Plus:~$ lsb_release -dsc Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS trusty scott@scott-AsusM2N68-AM-Plus:~$ echo $DESKTOP_SESSION Lubuntu Firefox versions: works fine: 28.0+build2-0ubuntu2 current non-working version: 32.0+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: firefox 32.0+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-35.62~ppa1-generic-tuxonice 3.13.11.6 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-35-generic-tuxonice i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia AddonCompatCheckDisabled: False ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.3 Architecture: i386 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: scott 1528 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC1: scott 1528 F.... pulseaudio BuildID: 20140830211128 CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'iw' Channel: Unavailable CurrentDesktop: LXDE Date: Fri Sep 12 16:33:27 2014 DefaultProfileIncompatibleExtensions: English (South Africa) Language Pack - [email protected] English (GB) Language Pack - [email protected] Default - {972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd} DefaultProfilePrefSources: prefs.js [Profile]/extensions/{D4DD63FA-01E4-46a7-B6B1-EDAB7D6AD389}/defaults/preferences/downbarconfig.js ForcedLayersAccel: False IfupdownConfig: # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) auto lo iface lo inet loopback InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-04-26 (139 days ago) InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release i386 (20140416.2) IpRoute: default via 192.168.0.1 dev eth0 proto static 192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.2 metric 1 MostRecentCrashID: bp-bc66a0cd-1d8f-4546-b3ec-9d1242140912 PciNetwork: Profile1IncompatibleExtensions: Global Menu Bar integration - [email protected] English (South Africa) Language Pack - [email protected] English (GB) Language Pack - [email protected] Default - {972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd} Profile1PrefSources: prefs.js Profiles: Profile0 (Default) - LastVersion=32.0/20140830211128 Profile1 - LastVersion=28.0/20140410211157 (Out of date) RelatedPackageVersions: icedtea-7-plugin 1.5-1ubuntu1 browser-plugin-gnash 0.8.11~git20130903-3ubuntu1 gecko-mediaplayer 1.0.8-4ubuntu1 RfKill: RunningIncompatibleAddons: True SourcePackage: firefox UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 06/10/2010 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 1802 dmi.board.asset.tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.board.name: M2N68-AM Plus dmi.board.vendor: ASUSTeK Computer INC. dmi.board.version: Rev X.0x dmi.chassis.asset.tag: Asset-1234567890 dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.chassis.vendor: Chassis Manufacture dmi.chassis.version: Chassis Version dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr1802:bd06/10/2010:svnSystemmanufacturer:pnSystemProductName:pvrSystemVersion:rvnASUSTeKComputerINC.:rnM2N68-AMPlus:rvrRevX.0x:cvnChassisManufacture:ct3:cvrChassisVersion: dmi.product.name: System Product Name dmi.product.version: System Version dmi.sys.vendor: System manufacturer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1368956/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
