 Posted: Fri Jun 10, 2016 5:32 am Post subject: firefox doesn't open window |
 |
|
On one of my Gentoo computers I have a strange problem. I have no firefox process running: | Code: | grozin@elrond ~ $ ps -U grozin | fgrep firefox
grozin@elrond ~ $ |
In ~/.mozilla/firefox/<profile>/ there is no lock file. Then I start firefox: | Code: | grozin@elrond ~ $ firefox
<cursor here> |
No window appears. No error messages in the konsole (yes, I run kde). It just sits invisible forever. Now there are 2 firefox processes: | Code: | grozin@elrond ~ $ ps -U grozin | fgrep firefox
10935 pts/1 00:00:00 firefox
10937 pts/1 00:00:00 firefox
grozin@elrond ~ $ |
Why 2?? Now there is a lock file: | Code: | grozin@elrond ~ $ file .mozilla/firefox/<profile>/lock
.mozilla/firefox/o0q68nhm.default/lock: broken symbolic link to 192.168.161.186:+12704 |
Now I press Ctrl-C in the konsole tab. The 2 firefox processes disappear, the lock file disappears too.
I tried to rename ~/.mozilla to something, and then to start firefox. The same: no window, 2 firefox processes running, ~/.mozilla is created with the usual contents and a new profile. This profile subdirectory contains the lock file (it disappears after pressing Ctrl-C).
How can I fix this? Why do 2 processes start? Do they lock each other?
This is a ~x86 desktop, newest firefox (the previous version behaved the same).

grozin ... can you post the output of the following:
| Code: | $ egrep -v '(^#|^$)' /etc/hosts
$ hostname -i |
I suspect your /etc/hosts doesn't have your hostname as 127.0.0.1 ... the section should look something like the following:
| /etc/hosts: | | 127.0.0.1 elrond.local elrond localhost |
HTH & best ... khay |
