Title:
Fresh 10.04 upgrade, firefox won't run
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Upgraded to 10.04 from, I think it was 8.04? (it was pretty old).
Everything seemed to go ok, except sound and firefox. I found some
other web advice to do with fixing up alsa, so sound works now. But
still firefox will not start.
Click the icon, error window "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded.
It may be missing or inaccessible."
Try to start from command line, same window, and the following error
messages:
(firefox:2781): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
None of the authentication protocols specified are supported.
/home/tina/.esd_auth: Permission denied
I can check, and if /home/tina/.esd_auth actually exists, then I can
remove it and try again, same result. Sometimes that .esd_auth
reappears, sometimes it doesn't.
I have moved .mozilla off to .mozilla_old, afaik I have no profiles,
still can't open. I tried all sorts of options for firefox, like
-safe-mode, -ProfileManager, etc., all the same.
See als bug 23917
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gksu/+bug/23917), seems to be the
same problem, never solved. One potential problem there was full disks, I don't
think that's me:
> df -kh

Based on some other webpage, I rm -rf /tmp/.esd-1001/, but that didn't
help.
