I missed something.. And here is the thing.. This appears to be not a "system" version of Firefox, but a stand-alone copy in your home directory.. For a normal setup, firefox should be started from /usr/bin/firefox, not ~/Firefox/firefox (~ meaning *your* home directory - sorry if you know this, don't know how much you do, so putting anyway) macgyver@executor:/home/macgyver> which firefox /usr/bin/firefox Unless there is a really compelling reason to use one specifically in your own home directory, I would try to use the system one.. Try running the "which firefox" command to make sure you get the same /usr/bin/firefox as myself (also a 10.04 LTS user) Try running that version, see what happens... If you don't get that, but something else, then the pathing may well be a bit broken, and a re-install of firefox from Synaptic might be the best course of action. -- <div><div></div><div>AM -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </div></div></blockquote></div> <div> </div></div></div><div>Daniel McFarland & Angus MacGyver--</div><div> I have completely uninstalled, and then reinstalled (via Synaptic Package Manager) FF. The damned thing won't execute! It wasn't an issue for me until recently -- I've been able to use Chromium -- when I went to this webpage ( <a href="http://event.on24.com/eventRegistration/EventLobbyServlet?target=lobby.jsp&eventid=164061&sessionid=1&key=83AA8E95C2CA30D0D5A5A3AC3FBA8E4E&eventuserid=39463704" target="_blank">http://event.on24.com/eventRegistration/EventLobbyServlet?target=lobby.jsp&eventid=164061&sessionid=1&key=83AA8E95C2CA30D0D5A5A3AC3FBA8E4E&eventuserid=39463704</a> ) and found that Chromium isn't supported for that particular media player; FF is, so now I'm trying to troubleshoot FF. </div> <div> </div><div>I've gotta go; when I get back, I'll try your suggestions.
