 Posted: Mon Apr 16, 2007 8:52 am Post subject: Firefox "problem" |
 |
|
When I start firefox (from a terminal to get the message) I get the following error
| Code: |
mahellma@thor ~ $ firefox
No running windows found
|
After that it takes around 2-3 minutes (a guess I could time it) to start the browser. And it's really annoying  . When the browser is running the terminal is showing the following errors.
| Code: |
(Gecko:5458): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Deprecated function. User modifications to the MIME database are no longer supported.
|
Otherwise the browser seems to work just fine.
Anyone have an idea on where to start? I tried with mozilla-firefox-bin also but it does the same.

Hello Diezel,
This is probably not firefox related.
Try and start other gui programs from your terminal
and see what happens.

DMA is turned on. And no other programs have the same problems. I'm going to try to remerge firefox and see what happens.

I've tried to remerge firefox now. It doesn't help.
If i fire up a second browser it starts in a second. Might this be related to X or gnome? I've used gnome light if that's any help.
I've looked at revdep and there is nothing to rebuild either. This is a fresh install since harddrive failure.

What happens if you start firefox, close it and immediately start it again?
Did you try (re)moving the configuration( ~/.mozilla)? Or try with another user/window manager? |

It takes just as long to start. I don't have another window manager installed and wouldn't really want to install one either. I could try Fluxbox if I really have to.
I tried removing ~/.mozilla which was no use. This is quite annoying.

You could try using Swiftfox to determine if it's a compilation or configuration problem. I prefer to use the authentic Firefox emerged with my own optimizations (the USE flags don't matter much to me with this package), but it might give you some insight as to what the problem is.

I don't think it's a compilation problem since firefox-bin doesn't work any better either.

Make sure you have
| Code: | | 127.0.0.1 localhost tux |
in your /etc/hosts file (of course, tux is your hostname)?
This seems to have caused similiar time-out-like problems with various other software under gnome, so it's worth to check.
