Thank you, Micah. 1. This morning Update Manager offered Firefox update (among others) so I began by installing all updates. Afterward Firefox partially opened, turned gray, then crashed. Apport took some time building a bug report, but when the progress bar showed completion and the ap closed, I don't think it went anywhere.
2. Went to Mozilla to download Firefox for Linux, but couldn't figure out how to install. Firefox support page linked to Ubuntu site which suggested adding ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa to system's Software Sources. Then I installed 3.5.3 + build 1+ nobin only-Oubuntu4 and xulrunner-1.9.1-gnome support though Synaptic. This turned Firefox panel icon blue, and still did not work. Deleted these and the repository I had added. 3. Reinstalled Firefox and xulrunner from Synaptic. Still just a spinning cursor then nothing. 4. Additional side effect after restart: Help question mark is gone from panel and from system menu. Clicking Help in add-to-panel box yields error “Could not display help document 'user guide'. Failed to execute child process “gnome-help” (no such file or directory). Other than continuing to install updates, am considering abandoning Karmic installation for now and reinstalling Karmic on that machine after release. Still have working Karmic on laptop and Jaunty on desktop and am probably too new (2 months) and not knowledgeable enough to be Beta tester. -- firefox wil not open in Ubuntu 9.10 after updating https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/451657 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
