Re: firefox not launching since upgrade to 0.9_1
I had the same problem. And even though it says you don't have to run it as root first any longer, it did help. ;-) GH On Thu, Jun 17, 2004 at 12:36:14AM -0400, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > hello all, > > problems since portupgrading firefox. i deleted all .mozilla .phoenix > directories from $HOME. > > > uname -a > FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE Thu May 27 13:51:30 EDT 2004 i386 > > > pkg_info | grep -i fire > firefox-0.9_1 Web browser based on the browser portion of Mozilla > > # firefox <<-- we no longer need to launch 1st time as root, but... > (firefox-bin:87415): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: > > > firefox > *** loading the extensions datasource > *** loading the extensions datasource > *** loading the extensions datasource > -->> same message repeats endlessly and cpu is maxed out <<-- > *** loading the extensions datasource > *** loading the extensions datasource > *** loading the extensions datasource > ^C > > would anyone have ideas about what might be causing this? > > > thanks, > epi > ___ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Try removing prefs.js from your %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\something directory, that should get firefox running again.

According to someone who had a similar (the same?) problem, you've have to remove the file prefs.js from your profiles directory and it should work again.

>From the ports list:: "If you're going to install the new firefox-0.9 update, there's something important you should know. You MUST run firefox as root before running it as any other user. The best way to do this is to su - to root or log in as root (i.e. do not su -m to root). After becoming root, simply run ``firefox''. You can then quit the browser, then run it as any other user. If you do not run firefox as root first, the browser window will not appear. This is a known issue with 0.9.
