I noticed that as well during the first episode, I haven't tried it as konquerer works fine for saving files.
I don't use firefox-bin much, only for those (few) flash sites I want to see, so I didn't really care much about this problem. Anyway, I
I think I might do the same.
just tried it again now, and it actually works fine for me now. Not sure why it works now, but one possibile cause that I found & fixed yesterday, is that there was an old libc-2.3.4 in /emul/linux/x86/lib that was being found before the libc-2.4 in /lib32. "Equery belongs"
I have app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-glibc-2.3.5 (/emul/linux/x86/lib/libc-2.3.5.so) sys-libs/glibc-2.3.6-r3 (/lib32/libc-2.3.6.so) there are quite a few duplicates with differing versions over the 2 directories. I believe firefox uses the /emul/linux/x86/lib ones, as when I removed them it stopped working altogether. One thing I forgot to mention is that revdep-rebuid always complains about firefox-bin: broken /usr/local/firefox/components/libmozgnome.so (requires libxpcom.so libxpcom_core.so libplds4.so libplc4.so libnspr4.so libgconf-2.so.4 libORBit-2.so.0 liblinc.so.1 libgnomevfs-2.so.0 libbonobo-activation.so.4 libgnome-2.so.0 libbonobo-2.so.0) broken /usr/local/firefox/components/libnkgnomevfs.so (requires libxpcom.so libxpcom_core.so libplds4.so libplc4.so libnspr4.so libgnomevfs-2.so.0 libbonobo-activation.so.4 libORBit-2.so.0 liblinc.so.1) it only wants to re-emerge mozilla-firefox-bin, which is pointless for a binary package, so I've been ignoring it (same messages from when firefox was working).
showed the old libc wasn't owned by any installed ebuild, so I moved it, and that resolved the problems (unrelated to firefox-bin) that had revealed the stale /emul/linux/x86/lib files in the first place. Not sure if that's actually what had been causing my firefox-bin crash or not, but I think it's a reasonable possibility. Hope you getting it working,
Duncan has me scared now. The disk is <6 months old, a 200G WD and its winter now, but I have no backup strategy, so I'll get that in order and then come back to firefox. -- [email protected] mailing list
