After installing a bunch of packages today (sorry, I cannot remember
what), my default browser changed to Epiphany, and every time I tried to
launch firefox, I would get an error, Couldn't load XRE functions.
After seeing this, and similar issues, I decided to check the x-www-
browser and

the problem here is that firefox sets the binary that lives in pkglibdir
as the default browser path. this works as long as pkglibdir doesn't
change its location. once that happens (like in b3 - b4 update), the
path is wrong and the custom browser configured in gconf points to
nowhere.
The fix
this is a bug of at least high importance.

I just used the firefox option existent on the GUI.

Atenciosamente,
This is probably a transitional issue. In my case the problem happened
with dist-upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy, then a week or so later the dist-
upgrade of Firefox 2 to Firefox 3b3 appeared and I did that. After that
Firefox 2 was no longer on the system, so it was not a question of
selecting the
After doing a clean install with Alpha4 and applying all upgrades this
is a non-issue for me.
To reproduce the problem I had you could probably set FF 2 as default
browser and then switch to FF 3 by answering the question you get when
you start it up (if you want to make it the default). That

think I ever had a folder called /var/lib/firefox but I know I don't
have anything now. I also searched for libgtkembedmoz.so under /var/lib

/usr/lib/firefox.

I just performed a dist-upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy and it did the
upgrade to Firefox 3 as part of the initial dist-upgrade, plus it setup
the Preferred Applications / Web Browser settings correctly. URLs
launch correctly form the apps I have tested.
The dist-upgrade I did a couple of weeks ago
if you still see this bug, please be sure that you have firefox +
firefox-3.0 3.0~b3+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 or later on your system before
claiming that you still see this. if you have that version, but still
see this certainly want to know about it.

Yes... I had the firefox set as the Custom Preferred browser and it
wasn't working then I changed it to sensible browser and the problem
was solved.
Before the broken update my Custom Preferred browser was set as
firefox with the open in new tab (or something like these) enabled.
I really think
ok. If you are struck by this, you most likely told firefox at some
point to make itself the default browser.
Can you confirm that you have /usr/lib/firefox/firefox{-bin} set as the
Custom Preferred browser if you see this?
Thanks,

Firefox 3.0 build seems to be missing a file called
/var/lib/firefox-3.0b3/libgtkembedmoz.so
The old firefox package contained /var/lib/firefox/libgtkembedmoz.so and a lot
of external packages use that library to open firefox windows.

Firefox 3 doesn't act as the default browser
The last update of the Ubuntu Hardy set the Firefox 3.0 as the default browser,
but i think that it isn't fully integrated.
When I click in a link on Thunderbird, or X-Chat, or Pidgin, [or any other
program, ...] the link doesn't open on Firefox 3.0
The gnome default browser seems to be

Firefox 3 doesn't act
Yes I know but if you in FF set it as default browser when you are asked
it should be able to do that, right?
After manually changing in gconf I have been able to use FF 3 as default
browser for all programs except for apport which still starts FF 2.

The Bugzilla Evo bug is now closed and that reply also solves this
problem however I think it's now confirmed that FF 3.0 b3 is unable to
recognize that it's not the default browser. I was lookin at the wrong
gconf-key, the one I should have looked at was probably these:
