[Bug 664930] [NEW] Firefox will not start - it turns grey

[Anders]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Firefox will not start - it turns grey.

Using: Ubuntu 10.10, Dell Inspiron 1525.
This is my scenario: 
1. I have Firefox open. 
2. Shutdown Ubuntu (without exiting FF)
3. Start Ubuntu.
4. Start FF.
5. --> FF is grey after 4-5 seconds.

I have had this problem for about a week when I installed an update on Ubuntu 10.4. 
When restarting Ubuntu I got the error message in 10.4 that Firefox-bin is running.

Workaround: 
1. In Home/.mozilla/firefox/123..default there are two files "Lock" and ".parents" delete these and restart Ubuntu.
2. Reinstall Firefox.
3. Restart Ubuntu.
4. ---> Firefox works again.
