apparmor and Firefox 13 weeks 2 days ago

I am currently re-setting up the apparmor profile for Firefox 19.0.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 and I am slightly confused.

I'm not sure whether this is a widespread issue, or just my computer, but almost every time i close firefox, and try to restart it, I get the "firefox is not responding in another window" error message.

I've always had this problem, but it's become more prevalent ever since I upgraded to 12.10.

Is there a workaround?

Firefox not starting 3 years 27 weeks ago

Hello, I have a big problem. Firefox doesn't start. When I start Firefox,there is by the cursor the jumping symbol and on the taskline too. But after a short time it has vanished and the browser isn't started. I've already reinstalled Firefox, but there is still the same problem. Maybe someone know the answer. My OS is OpenSuse 11.2 32bit with KDE 4.

I am trying to run Firefox from the terminal on a server using a centos operating system. Whenever I type in the command:

ssh - X hostname firefox

I can get firefox to successfully open, but I can not ssh on to the server remotely and open firefox.

Firefox 18 /Fedora 18 21 weeks 6 days ago

Anybody having issues with Firefox 18 in Fedora 18. Recent update causing Firefox to either not start up, or start real slow. Sometimes it acts like it is starting, then it stalls. Attempting to restart gives message the Firefox is still running, close and try again.

After upgrade opensuse from 11.2 to 11.3 a cannot use firefox. I start firefox form shell and nothing. When I use strace then firefox stop on "waitpid(-1, ". Firefox work well only when i login as a root. I removed java sun plugin and started firefox in save-mode and check to disable all extensions etc and nothing to do. Any suggestion?

Since I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04, every time I try to open a PDF through Firefox (which I like to do quite often as I read a lot of PDF documents and downloading each then deleting is tiresome) I get the error message:

Could not launch Adobe Reader 9.5.1. Please make sure it exists in PATH variable in the environment.

Trying to run Firefox from the command line with LightDM stopped. What I would like is to start Firefox and when I close it I return to the command line.

I can do this now by starting LightDM, logging in, opening Firefox, using Firefox, closing Firefox, and stopping LightDM.
