This doesn't sound much like a Firefox bug, I have changed to Unity which I suspect is closer to the mark.
As to why it might work on one release and not another, I suspect it is down to the graphics driver that you had running in each. In the fresh install perhaps you ticked the option for installing third party drivers, which probably brought in the proprietary driver for your card, and therefore worked. On your existing install you may be using an open source driver, which may not fully support 3D and thus might not work. You could provide details of your hardware, by running Terminal and typing "lspci" and reading off the VGA entry. Then can determine what driver module you have loaded by typing "lsmod | grep video". This information would be useful for anyone to help you with this problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/817063 Title: unity desktop wont run To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/817063/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
