[Bug 538796] Re: cannot open Firefox when libmoon is installed
Can also confirm on Lucid 64 bit. I un-install all the moonlight (libmoon and plugin) then run firefox perfectly. I then reinstall moonlight and firefox runs perfectly. But, alas - when I create a new user the problem is back in their account and I have to do the un-install - reinstall trick again! Not a problem for me, but very confusing for the non-technical users who don't know. I suggest not installing moonlight for any standard users until this is confirmed fixed. -- cannot open Firefox when libmoon is installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/538796 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same problem and same solution as poitydrip...but... All Ubuntu user's aren't gurus !!!

It's a very important bug when std apps, as browser doesn't work fine after upgrade !!! Same bugs are to maintain free software and ubuntu as confidential apps.

I did not intentionally or knowingly install libmoon.

I've just reinstalled moonlight-plugin-mozilla (together with libmoon of course) to check the crash again, but firefox is now happy again.

[Bug 538796] Re: cannot open Firefox when libmoon is installed
I find the bug is still reproducible. anything that causes firefox to rebuild it's plugin database after libmoon is installed causes it to crash. libmoon doesn't seem to trigger a rebuild normally. the gnome integration plugin and mozplugger seem to, I'm not sure what else might. I meant to check flash last night but I've been side tracked between my genetics and chinese. I should have all afternoon thursday and a good chunk of friday to try and narrow it down.

were any of the plugins auto updated? ubufox or gnome-firefox (the integration package for firefox with gnome) maybe? any functional plugin update might cause the plugin database to be updated. when I get home I'll try installing something like flash and see if it causes a crash.

because otherwise firefox doesn't, or didn't, seem to properly detect shockwave as installed via mozplugger and wine. It was a step needed in karmic and earlier releases, I haven't tried skipping it in lucid. I don't think it's highly likely many other people will encounter a need to do so.

Apparently at least with jaunty and firefox 3 you no longer need to delete the plugin database to get it to reload with mozplugger. I'll play with that later to see if it holds for lucid. what libmoon does just so I'm clear is prevent firefox from generating a new database if for some reason it is removed after moonlight has been installed and thus firefox crashes upon restart. the simple fix is to uninstall libmoon allow firefox to remake the pluginreg.dat file and then reinstall moonlight. sorry about the multiple posts. -- cannot open Firefox when libmoon is installed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/538796 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
