Problem in Firefox Browser

[Simon Ruiz]

This is rather strange.
 
My first question would be: has Firefox always behaved this way on this install? That is, since the very first time you installed Ubuntu?
 
Do you have a Live CD to boot from? If so, I would recommend booting to the Live CD and trying to run Firefox from there. If it does not work on the Live CD, my guess would be that this older version of Ubuntu does not recognize something about your system correctly.
 
Linux most certainly has "event viewer" functionality. Check out the log files.

The one you should probably keep an eye on is /var/log/messages
 
You could try running Firefox, making it crash and then pulling up /var/log/messages in a text editor.
 
Best of luck!

Hello Simon
Yes everytime I utilize Firefox in the Linux platform it closes immediately
and gives no message in the process.

Its too bad that Linux does not have a event viewer as XP does it would
hopefully tell more but that is all I can say is it closes immediately with
no explanation.
