What I do to reproduce it is this: 1. I remove the .mozilla directory in my home directory. 2. I start firefox from the command line 3. A dialog comes up and asks if I want to import any settings. I select "don't import anything". 4. In the main window's address field, I type "about:plugins" At that moment, on stdout several messages are written: LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library libXt.so [libXt.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library libXext.so [libXext.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory] LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so [/usr/lib/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so: undefined symbol: XtCalloc] LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/lib/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so [/usr/lib/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so: undefined symbol: XtCalloc] The Firefox window reports no plugins. Oddly, after quitting and repeating from step 2, I no longer get the messages about libXt.so and libExt.so (is that cached in the profile?) I tried a workaround: I added ~/lib/ to LD_LIBRARY_PATH and there created symlinks libXt.so -> /usr/lib/libXt.so.6 and libXext.so -> /usr/lib/libXext.so.6; repeating from step 1 finally works! So it seems that someone has been making sloppy assumptions about the whereabouts and naming of libX(ex)t. :-) Cheers, Dennis van Dok -- D.H. van Dok ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- Plugin loading fails in firefox https://launchpad.net/bugs/61048 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
