well i just tried to update to firefox 1.5.0.2 with disatrous results it seems. the install wouldn't work, so i removed it and re installed mozilla-firefox, but now that won't work if i try to launch firefox i get: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: XDM authorization key matches an existing client! and if i try to launch mozilla-firefox: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: XDM authorization key matches an existing client! (firefox-bin:3957): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: any idea what's going here?
ok now when i run mozilla-firefox from terminal i get this: Extension System Warning: Failed to set up default extensions files probably because you do not have write privileges to this location. While you can run Firefox like this, it is recommended that you run it at least once with privileges that allow it to generate these initial files to improve start performance. Running from a disk image on MacOS X is not recommended. But the screen is blank, and i can't seem to run it as root or sudo; when i try i get: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified (firefox-bin:4058): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
I'm running Debian sarge, i tried to install firefox 1.5 using backports: apt-get -t Sarge-backports install firefox immediately after this, firefox stopped working. I realize i didn't remove the mozilla firefox first, so i tried that: apt-get remove mozilla-firefox but firefox1.5 still wouldn't work, so i tried manually removing the 1.5 install by deleting: /usr/lib/firefox following a post i read online somewhere (lost the page) I've reinstalled mozilla-firefox: apt-get install mozilla-firefox which was not working at first, but now gives the extension system warning i posted last time and is EXTREMELY slow.
I ran this and thought i'd post it just in case it helps: /usr/lib/firefox$ ldd firefox-bin libmozjs.so => /usr/lib/libmozjs.so (0x00002af58bf44000) libxpcom.so => /usr/lib/libxpcom.so (0x00002af58c0da000) libxpcom_core.so => not found libplds4.so => /usr/lib/libplds4.so (0x00002af58c2c1000) libplc4.so => /usr/lib/libplc4.so (0x00002af58c3c5000) libnspr4.so => /usr/lib/libnspr4.so (0x00002af58c4ca000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00002af58c606000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002af58c71b000) libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0x00002af58c81e000) libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0x00002af58cc23000) libatk-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libatk-1.0.so.0 (0x00002af58cdb4000) libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 (0x00002af58ced8000) libpangoxft-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0 (0x00002af58cfee000) libpangox-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpangox-1.0.so.0 (0x00002af58d0f6000) libpango-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so.0 (0x00002af58d202000) libgobject-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 (0x00002af58d345000) libgmodule-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.0 (0x00002af58d47e000) libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x00002af58d581000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002af58d707000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00002af58d8e3000) libpng12.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 (0x00002af58da69000) libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x00002af58db90000) libsmime3.so => /usr/lib/libsmime3.so (0x00002af58dcb2000) libssl3.so => /usr/lib/libssl3.so (0x00002af58dddc000) libnss3.so => /usr/lib/libnss3.so (0x00002af58df01000) libsoftokn3.so => /usr/lib/libsoftokn3.so (0x00002af58e084000) libXrender.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXrender.so.1 (0x00002af58e209000) libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x00002af58e312000) libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x00002af58e4a1000) libXp.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXp.so.6 (0x00002af58e602000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x00002af58e70a000) libxpcom_compat.so => /usr/lib/libxpcom_compat.so (0x00002af58e81c000) libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x00002af58e93e000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00002af58eb1b000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002af58ec27000) libXft.so.2 => /usr/lib/libXft.so.2 (0x00002af58ee66000) libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0x00002af58ef7a000) libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 (0x00002af58f0ba000) libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00002af58f1e4000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002af58be2e000) libXrandr.so.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrandr.so.2 (0x00002af58f3d5000) libXi.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 (0x00002af58f4d8000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x00002af58f5e0000) libXcursor.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXcursor.so.1 (0x00002af58f6f5000) libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x00002af58f800000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x00002af58f90a000) libexpat.so.1 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 (0x00002af58fa24000)

Well i made the link with this result: wraithfire@Hellfury:~$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/libxpcom_core.so /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin Password: ln: `/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin': File exists and firefox still won't launch
Then try this: Code: ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/libxpcom_core.so /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin/libxpcom_core.so
Code: ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/libxpcom_core.so /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin/libxpcom_core.so Done, and i get back: ln: accessing `/usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin/libxpcom_core.so': Not a directory symlinks are kinda tricky it seems
wraithfire@Hellfury:/usr/lib/firefox$ ln -s libxpcom_core.so ./firefox-bin ln: `./firefox-bin': File exists wraithfire@Hellfury:/usr/lib/firefox$ ln -s ./firefox-bin libxpcom_core.so ln: `libxpcom_core.so': File exists wraithfire@Hellfury:/usr/lib/firefox$ ln -s ./firefox-bin . ln: `./firefox-bin': File exists hmm, i think i'm doing something wrong here...
i tried to run start firefox like this : Code: /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin returns: usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libxpcom_core.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory as i said earlier i found libxpcom_core.so in /usr/lib/firefox , so i did as root: Code: cp /usr/lib/firefox/libxpcom_core.so /usr/lib and now Code: ldd /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin returns: libmozjs.so => /usr/lib/libmozjs.so (0x00002ab1c861c000) libxpcom.so => /usr/lib/libxpcom.so (0x00002ab1c87b2000) libxpcom_core.so => /usr/lib/libxpcom_core.so (0x00002ab1c8999000) libplds4.so => /usr/lib/libplds4.so (0x00002ab1c8b81000) libplc4.so => /usr/lib/libplc4.so (0x00002ab1c8c85000) libnspr4.so => /usr/lib/libnspr4.so (0x00002ab1c8d8a000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00002ab1c8ec6000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x00002ab1c8fdb000) libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0x00002ab1c90de000) libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0x00002ab1c94e3000) libatk-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libatk-1.0.so.0 (0x00002ab1c9674000) libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 (0x00002ab1c9798000) libpangoxft-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0 (0x00002ab1c98ae000) libpangox-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpangox-1.0.so.0 (0x00002ab1c99b6000) libpango-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpango-1.0.so.0 (0x00002ab1c9ac2000) libgobject-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0 (0x00002ab1c9c05000) libgmodule-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.so.0 (0x00002ab1c9d3e000) libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x00002ab1c9e41000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x00002ab1c9fc7000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x00002ab1ca1a3000) libpng12.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpng12.so.0 (0x00002ab1ca329000) libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x00002ab1ca450000) libsmime3.so => /usr/lib/libsmime3.so (0x00002ab1ca572000) libssl3.so => /usr/lib/libssl3.so (0x00002ab1ca69c000) libnss3.so => /usr/lib/libnss3.so (0x00002ab1ca7c1000) libsoftokn3.so => /usr/lib/libsoftokn3.so (0x00002ab1ca944000) libXrender.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXrender.so.1 (0x00002ab1caac9000) libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 (0x00002ab1cabd2000) libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x00002ab1cad61000) libXp.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXp.so.6 (0x00002ab1caec2000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x00002ab1cafca000) libxpcom_compat.so => /usr/lib/libxpcom_compat.so (0x00002ab1cb0dc000) libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x00002ab1cb1fe000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00002ab1cb3db000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00002ab1cb4e7000) libXft.so.2 => /usr/lib/libXft.so.2 (0x00002ab1cb726000) libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0x00002ab1cb83a000) libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 (0x00002ab1cb97a000) libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00002ab1cbaa4000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00002ab1c8506000) libXrandr.so.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrandr.so.2 (0x00002ab1cbc95000) libXi.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 (0x00002ab1cbd98000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x00002ab1cbea0000) libXcursor.so.1 => /usr/lib/libXcursor.so.1 (0x00002ab1cbfb5000) libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x00002ab1cc0c0000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x00002ab1cc1ca000) libexpat.so.1 => /usr/lib/libexpat.so.1 (0x00002ab1cc2e4000) seems like it detects the file, but it still doesn't work. when i run this: Code: /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin the cursor just hangs with blank return and ^c doesn't return the prompt. all other attempts to start it return the same errors as before, segmentation fault as normal user or Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server Xlib: No protocol specified (firefox-bin:3856): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: as root or sudo anyone have any ideas on this?
Maybe you should try to compile Firefox from the sources. I think it's easier than fiddling around with the broken package.
Wow this is WAY to much work, at this point i downgraded the package back tostable release 1.0 and I'll just use that thanks for trying to help me anyways
