I believe the problem was caused by an earlier installation of a linuxant modem driver, or possibly the use of linuxant's utility scanModem.
I ran scanModem, which did not detect my modem, a Zoom 56K USB modem. After some digging around, I downloaded and installed what appeared to be an appropriate driver, which worked but firefox began only opening in a pop-up window. I have since removed the previous driver and no longer have a copy to give a name or version, but it was a linuxant alsa driver for a 64bit linux system. The current installation of alsa-driver-linuxant v.1.0.19.4-1 seems to work fine. I downloaded the modem driver on the windows side and transferred it to the Ubuntu side for installation, so I never opened firefox in between the running of scanModem and the driver installation. But, I tend to believe running scanModem caused the problem. There hasn't been any problem since creating a new profile. -- opens in popup window only https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/418755 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
