The thing is , once again, that thunderbird does it's job of launching firefox, but the page that opens is a *downloaded *version such as file:///tmp/blabla.html where i would like it to open the url. btw, i've managed to fix the mailto problem, now firefox opens thunderbird just fine. I've did it the newbie way by going to the preference-Applications and adding a mailto entry. Though i'm sure that i already try doing that before, anyway...
[gentoo-user] firefox 3.0.10 crashes
Ever since I upgraded firefox to version 3 it crashes when certain pages are opened. Currently I have version 3.0.10 and amd64. I've been hoping the problem would get fixed, but it hasn't been yet. For example I can not even go to ebay ( http://www.ebay.com ), the page flashes and then firefox crashes. Does anyone know what's causing this and how it can be fixed? Thanks, dave

Just close Firefox, rename the directory with .old on the end, then restart firefox and see if that helps. If it still crashes, you may want to try opening it in a console to see if that helps any. You may get a error of some kind to check into. Just additional thoughts. Dale :-) :-)

[gentoo-user] Firefox without gcc?
Hello! Another Gentoo newb question. I'm attempting a customized ROOT=/blah gentoo root filesystem, where we can build a linux client image w/out the build chain and other dependencies. Our needs are too intensive for ulibc, but we're shooting for a sub-250 MB graphical operating environment. I'm surprised to see that Firefox (and anecdotally, Xorg) are linked to gcc libraries: [chroot-dev] causey-1 ramdisk # ldd ./usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox linux-gate.so.1 = (0x00484000) libpthread.so.0 = /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0x00cae000) libdl.so.2 = /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x0026b000) libstdc++.so.6 = /usr/lib/gcc/i486-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/libstdc++.so.6 (0x008c9000) libm.so.6 = /lib/libm.so.6 (0x0072b000) libgcc_s.so.1 = /usr/lib/gcc/i486-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x0011) libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00d48000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00e89000) [chroot-dev] causey-1 ramdisk # qfile libstdc++.so.6 sys-devel/gcc (/usr/lib/gcc/i486-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/libstdc++.so.6) [chroot-dev] causey-1 ramdisk # I had to copy bits of gcc over to get Xorg/xdm working as well. I'm happy to hand-copy over the bits I need if that is the only optionbut I guess I was looking for a USE flag or something where we could build things that are not linked to the build chain? I did find a dated thread here, which just says, 'deal with it and move on' - but I wondered if anything has changed. :-) http://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-embed...@lists.gentoo.org/msg00857.html Cheers, -- Matt
[gentoo-user] Firefox: Content Encoding Error and CAPTCHA
Hi! I have some strange problems with Firefox (up to date ~amd64): 1. On some pages some gif files (CAPTCHA) is not shown, 2. Some pages results in Firefox error message: Content Encoding Error The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression. Opera ans Arora has not such problems at both cases. Thoughts?

Re: [gentoo-user] firefox crashes
`emerge --info` at the bottom of my reply I emerged mozilla-firefox-bin (strangely it didn't unmerge mozilla-firefox... it was a New ebuild). Interestingly, it did work... It gave no debug info so i couldn't compare the output... I believe I'll have no problem in switching over to the bin version, but the error with the ebuild is still strange... The CSS errors are more like debug warnings (note it was compiled with debug flag) they have nothing (i believe) to do with the issue. The ***Exception before those errors give more info and some of the last lines also are relevant.

[gentoo-user] firefox et al. crash when attaching file in gmail --- dbus?
I'm having fits about dbus, at least that's what I think? Firefox 3, epiphany, and firefox 3 bin all do this. Attach any file (as any user, on KDE or Gnome) and firefox immediately crashes. Root can attach files. Some background. Today I upgraded these before I noticed this problem: dev-libs/expat, net-misc/dhcpcd, dev-cpp/libglademm, dev-cpp/gconfmm, net-dns/bind-tools, mail-mta/ssmtp, sys-apps/coreutils. Yesterday it worked. Of course Ive been twiddling. I found a suggestion to run firefox in safe-mode ($ firefox -safe-mode). I did this. It's just a way to dismember the add-ons and customizations of a user, and I'd already recompiled. But these errors were received after the crash in the terminal: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ /usr/bin/firefox -safe-mode which: no soundwrapper in (/usr/kde/3.5/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.3.1:/usr/qt/3/bin:/usr/games/bin) which: no soundwrapper in (/usr/kde/3.5/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/4.3.1:/usr/qt/3/bin:/usr/games/bin) process 1: arguments to dbus_connection_send_with_reply_and_block() were incorrect, assertion (error) == NULL || !dbus_error_is_set ((error)) failed in file dbus-connection.c line 3289.

D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace Aborted [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ (npviewer.bin:6437): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_style_detach: assertion `style-attach_count 0' failed I am most interested in learning how to troubleshoot dbus. I read one post where the suggestion was made to delete dbus. What does that mean? I've been having numerous problems with permissions. They are gradually going away, and I just emailed a friend that the system has finally stablized to some degree. Then I did an # emerge -uDv world and this happens. Where can I find out more about dbus? gtkmm won't compile. There's an upstream fix, I think, and I might do a local version bump, with much trepidation.

[gentoo-user] Firefox lock me out of my X session and X get 100% cpu usage
Hi guys, I'm having a weird problem here. I do have an amd64 install of gentoo with KDE 4. Well my problem is that sometimes (once or more per day) when using Firefox I do click in some link or try to scroll down/up the scrollbar my system freezes. When this happen I have to remotely login via ssh and do 'kill -9 X' which in this case is consuming around 100% of cpu usage. I've already updated both kde and firefox and even tried to disable/enable render acceleration on xorg but nothing seems to help. I'm using Xinerama (nvidia + sis video boards) but this is a old install (around 1 year) and my problem just started after I've migrated to kde4. Do somebody have any clue?

Re: [gentoo-user] Firefox: password field
Most likely the stars and asterisks difference is because your 2 desktops are using different themes.

Re: [gentoo-user] firefox crash when playing flash
There is no message on the console.Firefox was just no responding. I need to kill the process and restart it,after that it would run well util next crash. Oh I see, for crash I understood it has closed abnormally, what happened to you is looks what I would call a freeze =) So, that makes things a little difficult, as is hard to trace... I figure out that the mpd didn't work either when the firefox was suspending there, is it possible they cann't work together. Well that points to the road I was trying to take: sound problem. What I can't figure out is why it is hanging. Here in my PC, before I installed pulseaudio, I was unable to hear two sounds from different sources, because my machine has no hardware mixer, and I user a multi device to play stereo sounds (upmixing 2.0 to 7.1 stream), but when I tried to play something in firefox, it just wouldn't play the sound, but work silently without any problems. Do you have an /etc/asound.conf (or ~/.asoundrc) file? Can you post the contents of it?

I need to kill the process and restart it,after that it would run well util next crash. Oh I see, for crash I understood it has closed abnormally, what happened to you is looks what I would call a freeze =) So, that makes things a little difficult, as is hard to trace... I figure out that the mpd didn't work either when the firefox was suspending there, is it possible they cann't work together. Well that points to the road I was trying to take: sound problem. What I can't figure out is why it is hanging. Here in my PC, before I installed pulseaudio, I was unable to hear two sounds from different sources, because my machine has no hardware mixer, and I user a multi device to play stereo sounds (upmixing 2.0 to 7.1 stream), but when I tried to play something in firefox, it just wouldn't play the sound, but work silently without any problems. Do you have an /etc/asound.conf (or ~/.asoundrc) file? Can you post the contents of it?

Indeed, that used to happen more often before... now I don't really know if it was just a coincidence or not =/ Are you using pulseaudio? In my case when Firefox crashes the command line indicates some problem with pulseaudio (can't reproduce right now), could you run Firefox from the command line and post the crash message it shows at exit?
