Hi Alex,
Yes I did install it in /usr/lib and that is the only
reason I am posting such a comment to begin with. Not to mention I am posting
it in Firefox. Yes, what I am mentioning can be far fetched. This is why I
suggested john install both in the /opt directory to make an independent
comparison.
I am not just saying what I am without merit. If I
had not experienced it first hand I would not be posting this. So maybe
I went over the line. However, the odd-part is not that I did install it
into /usr/lib but that afterward it made the gecko dependent software
functional. Moreover, what seems odd is that when I originally tried
FIrefox 3.0a2 in the /opt directory it produced the same exact crash as
the ubuntu version, the 2.01 install did not.
I am just quoting my experience. If all this is
just coincidental and none of it makes sense then fine. But if there is
one clue here as to what may be going on then it deserves more
attention.
Again I am not telling everyone under the sun to
go and install firefox upstream to /usr/lib. I am simply opening up the
possibility and only to those whom feel comfortable doing it after
confirming whether it works or not in the /opt directory.
By the way I should also mention the the Ubuntu version of Firefox runs mozilla
updates as well as being updated by Ubuntu.
So it's interesting that Upstream updates would screw with an
Ubuntu install where Upstream updates do not.
