Hi,

thank you for asking !

Well, the problem evolved a bit and might be related to my x-window
setup. I don't know / remember what caused this evolution.

Now when I am at my office, firefox starts and opens the usual
graphical interface. In my office I have a second display (dell flat
screen 17") that I connect to my laptop (dell latitude D610). Graphic
card is an ATI, with fglrx driver.

When I am at home or somewhere else, I have only the laptop display
and firefox starts but doesn't show up. Of course I verified that it
is not showing on the unconnected external display, by <alt>-<tab>
switching and looking at the virtual desktop minimap (on the bottom
left).

Another possibility is that the problem might be linked to the network
configuration. But this would be even more weird.

Maybe there is something with the extensions. If you tell me how to
get the installed list I will provide it to you.

What do you think ?

I will try to connect another external display at home to see if this
is really the source of the problem. Tell me if you want me to try
something. But I am not too inclined to modify my x-window setup since
this is a production machine and these binary drivers + multiple head
display can be tricky to configure.

A more general point of view on this bug : how many users know that
there are other web browsers ? I guess that the usage increase of
Ubuntu has brought less knowledgeable people. So my point is that for
one person like me who can get around this bug, there may be 10 or 50
persons who encountered the bug and just though "Ubuntu does not
work". This may cause such a bug to be ignored because not reported
enough. Of course, maybe I am the only one who suffers from it :-)


Thanks for your time,

Jérôme
