[Bug 238710] Re: No location bar

[Iain Churcher]

I have managed to fix this issue myself although exactly what was wrong
I can only speculate...

A while ago i manually installed one of the betas for firefox 3 (before
upgrading to Hardy) I installed this alongside firefox 2 so I could run
both versions. Then upon upgrading to Hardy the Firefox 3 b5 just
appeared to work so i removed my shortcut to the old beta (without
deleting the install) and carried on. It was only when i installed the
upgrade to RC1 that the problems shown appeared for me.

Remembering this today I did a "whereis firefox" in a terminal and got
the following:

whereis firefox
firefox: /usr/bin/firefox /etc/firefox /usr/lib/firefox /usr/share/firefox

I decided to cleanse my system of all things firefox and start again,
therefore i went into synaptic and removed all firefox items .
Afterwards i went to each of the directories listed above and deleted
everything.. I also searched each of areas for firefox and deleted
several firefox-3.0 folders and mozilla plugins etc.. Therefore my
system had no ref to any firefox folders.

Next I went back into synaptic and ticked the firefox package (which
also installs firefox-3) after this completed firefox now works fine for
me.

I can only hypothesize that my previous manual install of a firefox 3
beta was screwing something up. I recommend that anyone that has this
issue remove all firefox packages and folders from there system and re-
installing.

I can only say this worked for me and therefore I believe that this is
not a bug in the package but a config issue.

A big thanks to Alex and anyone else that contributed to this bug
report.
