Upgraded to Firefox 3.6 using the follow suggested method on
http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-firefox-3-6-in-ubuntu-karmicjauntyintrepidhardy.html
Now Firefox won't start.
When trying to launch it from a terminal I get ...
(firefox-bin:9768): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times
Now if I issue the following command in the terminal ...
firefox -safe-mode
Firefox will start up in safe mode but before it comes up I get this message ...
(firefox-bin:9784): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times
Firefox will start normally after starting it in Safe Mode. I close
the Safe Mode program and start Firefox normally, from the terminal I
get these two messages before the browser finally starts.
(firefox-bin:9823): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times
(firefox-bin:9823): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times
If I close the window, however, the browser will not start until after
I run it in Safe Mode again.
In System Monitor there are two Firefox processes running ...
firefox
firefox-bin
The add-ons I have work in 3.6 and I've made no other changes. I've
tried reinstalling Firefox but that doesn't seem to help. All of my
existing settings weren't removed when I uninstalled the browser. How
can I completely remove all remnants of Firefox and install from
scratch?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
