[Bug 376151] [NEW] Firefox will not run on new installation of Ubuntu 9.04

[John Harris]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Used live cd version of desktop Ubuntu 9.04.  Firefox loads and runs.
Can browse web.  Installed 9.04 from live CD alongside WinXP Pro.
(Previously had 8.04 installed with WinXP on this notebook).  Attempting
to run firefox results in 'hour glass' (Ubunut rotating wheel) and
minimized Firefox program icon on bottom status line.  But after about
10 seconds, the icon is gone and firefox has not loaded. Reinstalled
9.04 and had the same results.

Whatever is on the live CD version can open and run Firefox.  What got installed onto the disk does not.
Hardware: HP/compaq nc6000, 1.4 Ghz Pentium with 512 Mb Ram. 40 Gb hard disk
