Added link to upstream bug. To summarize the upstream ticket, the problem is a side effect of the version upgrade process. Restarting FF will work around the problem. I'd infer from that, that the problem lies in the packaging, and not with the upstream project.
One of the duplicate tickets here contains a developer comment stating that this isn't an easy problem to resolve. Although the current upgrade process does include a user notification that a FF restart is required, maybe a stop-gap solution would be to make that notification more forceful and intrusive, prompting the user to restart FF immediately before continuing to use it. ** Bug watch added: Mozilla Bugzilla #457434 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=457434 ** Also affects: firefox via https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=457434 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- Update to 3.0.7 breaks firefox https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/338785 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
