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

[John Harris]

Micah,
First install (that didn't work quite right) was in this method:
Insert Cd with iso file image, reboot computer, select to boot from CD, follow command line script and install along side WinXP.  On second install (today), I booted into WinXp, inserted CD and let install run inside WinXp.

Firefox now running correctly under Ubuntu 9.04

Status in “firefox-3.0” source package in Ubuntu: Incomplete

Bug description:
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
