Title:
Firefox fails to start
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
I have a ".desktop" file which opens Firefox.
I click the file and I see the mouse cursor icon is change to a "loading"
icon, but firefox window doesn't appear.
The loading icon continues for a few seconds (about 10sec) and then the
normal cursor icon is seen.
Overall, Firefox doesn't appear.
This issue started just recently, in the last week (probably due to an
upgrade, I assume).
This issue happen only sometimes - meaning, sometimes when I click the
".desktop" file then firefox starts normally, but in some other times then
Firefox will not appear.
I performed some debug and found out the it is related to the gnome-shell
program, or more specifically to the extension "ubuntu-dock".
By inspecting the file "/var/log/syslog", whenever the issue happens, then
the following error appears in the file (omitted irrelevant data):
"
