Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox
Firefox will not start - it turns grey.
Using: Ubuntu 10.10, Dell Inspiron 1525.
This is my scenario:
1. I have Firefox open.
2. Shutdown Ubuntu (without exiting FF)
3. Start Ubuntu.
4. Start FF.
5. --> FF is grey after 4-5 seconds.
I have had this problem for about a week when I installed an update on Ubuntu
10.4.
When restarting Ubuntu I got the error message in 10.4 that Firefox-bin is
running.
Workaround:
1. In Home/.mozilla/firefox/123..default there are two files "Lock" and
".parents" delete these and restart Ubuntu.
2. Reinstall Firefox.
3. Restart Ubuntu.
4. ---> Firefox works again.
