 |
|
After updating (ran emerge -uD world for the first time in 2-3 months), I cannot get Firefox to start properly.
If I select an existing profile, or I create a new profile, I get this message:
| Code: | JavaScript error: jar:file:///usr/lib64/firefox/omni.ja!/components/XULStore.js, line 65: Error: Can't find profile directory.
1538717642042 addons.webextension.{1ced4832-f06e-413f-aa14-9eb63ad40ace} WARN Please specify whether you want browser_style or not in your browser_action options.
console.log: Accessibility service init or shutdown observer does not exist.
JavaScript error: jar:file:///usr/lib64/firefox/browser/omni.ja!/components/nsBrowserGlue.js, line 1028: NS_ERROR_FAILURE: Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIIdleService.removeIdleObserver] |
My home directory is on an NFS server, which is still updating. I have rebooted the client, where firefox is running. I have restarted all the nfs* and rpc* services on the server, with no improvement.
I also notice that Chrome is very slow to start. Also, I get the same error on another Gentoo machine that I similarly just updated, but a Linux Mint machine that also relies on the same NFS server for home directories doesn't seem to have any problems.
Here is something interesting: if I run either "firefox --new-instance" or other programs such as vncviewer under strace, I get a hang for 30 seconds or thereabouts at this point:
| Code: | readlink("/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-hinting-slight.conf", "../conf.avail/10-hinting-slight."..., 4095) = 36
stat("../conf.avail/10-hinting-slight.conf", ^Cstrace: Process 18715 detached |
This 30 second hang only happens if my PWD is my home directory. Since I use the automounter and nfs ../conf.avail maps to /home/.conf.avail which doesn't exist. If I cd to another directory, "../conf.avail/" still doesn't exist, but the response is fast.
However, even if I cd to another directory, firefox still shows the same problem accessing the profile.
Edit: editing my nfs exports and autofs setup resulted in the profile being loaded. The original error message is still there, but firefox is now working. |
