I think I got hit by this, and found a temp work around. Eclipse wants to use Firefox libraries by default. Since the Eclipse/Firefox interaction is broken, we have to avoid this. There is an eclipse option under window->preferences->General->Web Browser, do NOT select "Mozilla".
If you are like me, this will also crash eclipse. I uninstalled eclipse & firefox. Then I installed eclipse from eclipse.org. Installing via apt-get will include and try to user firefox by default, causing the crash. Manual installation of eclipse from eclipse.org does NOT use mozilla be default, and so eclipse is usable. Firefox can then be re-installed via apt-get, and you have a working eclipse and firefox, even if they won't work well together. -- eclipse crash, when spawning browser https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/112925 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
