  • [solved]firefox does not start anymore: (firefox:4358): Bonobo-WARNING

    Hi All,
    Firefox has always worked on the laptop of my girfrind, until yesterday. When I run firefox from the command line I get the following message, and firefox does not start.
    ingeborg@laptop:/storage/home/ingeborg$ firefox
    (firefox:4358): Bonobo-WARNING **: Bonobo must be initialized before use
    ingeborg@laptop:/storage/home/ingeborg$
    Versions:
    ingeborg@laptop:/storage/home/ingeborg$ firefox -v
    Mozilla Firefox 3.6.12, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2010 mozilla.org

    When I move .mozilla, firefox starts without problem, so there must be something wrong with the information in ~/.mozilla:
    $ mv .mozilla/ .mozilla-moved
    ingeborg@laptop:~$ firefox
    (firefox:4852): Bonobo-WARNING **: Bonobo must be initialized before use
    (firefox:4852): Bonobo-WARNING **: Bonobo must be initialized before use
    (firefox:4852): Bonobo-WARNING **: Bonobo must be initialized before use
    ingeborg@laptop:~$
    Any Idea's how I can figure out what file is causing this problem in .mozilla?
    What does code 4358 and 4852 from firefox mean?
    Best regards,
    Cedric

    I have reproduced the problem:
    1)Move (or remove) ~/.mozilla
    2)goto this website : http://toolbar.zynga.com/install/farmville/
    3)login with a valid facebook acount
    4)Click install, and then click allow, install now, restart namoraka, restart, finish, and then click save and quit.
    Now firefox does not start anymore.
    Is it usefull when I make a tar file of .mozilla and post it here?
    Best regards,

    My firefox does not start.
    when i run it it asks if i wawnt to start a new session and when i click on any of the choices it hangs and nothing happens.
    even in safe mode when it is supposed to start it stil hangs and no window is oppened...
    this happened when i updated to firefox 2.0.0.4...
    Make sure firefox is actually stopped (check "ps axww" output for it). Kill it if it's still running somewhere.
    Check your firefox profile area for files named "lock" and ".parentlock". Delete them if you find any.

    Same thing happens when i click restart.
    No difference when i run it in Safe mode. And it won't let me create a new profile either. Is there anyway else i can extract my bookmarks? This is driving me crazy!

    Did the crash reporter send any crash reports?<br />
    You can see the crash reports in this folder:
    "C:\Users\&lt;user&gt;\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports"
    See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad
    See also [[Firefox crashes when you open it]]
    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br /><br />
    See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting&#58; Make a new profile]]<br /><br />
    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins"<br /><br />
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)<br /><br />
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox<br /><br />
    If that still causes the same problem then do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data when uninstalling.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

    Hey.
    I think it might be the problem with one of your plugins.
    Try to uninstall the webbrowser AND remove the storage from Firefox in your user-account (Linux: /home/username/.mozilla). You can check the list of installed Add-Ons in Firefox under "Extras => Add-ons" or by pressing Shift + Strg + A (Linux).

  • When I click to enlarge an image in eBay, Firefox does not respond.

    I open up Firefox and go to the eBay website. I click on an item to view the listing. I then click on the image, or the 'Enlarge' icon to view a larger version of the image. The problem is that Firefox does not respond. It comes up with "javascript;" in the little dialogue box that pops up in the bottom left corner.
    When I use Internet Explorer, I don't have the problem. Could anyone suggest what is wrong?

    Make sure that you do not block JavaScript
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/JavaScript
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Firefox does not save my tabs or sessions when I shut down my computer

    To be more clear:
    Yes, I have set my options to "show windows and tabs from last time".
    No, I did not check "clear memory on shut down" or "start private session"
    Also, it saves my tabs when I restart the browser, but when I shut down my computer and start up again, Firefox does not show my tabs from last time. The same thing happens with sites I've logged onto before; it logs me out after I shut down my computer.

    Did you check the "Clear Recent History" settings to be sure cthat you do not clear the Browser history and the cookies?
    See [[Clear Recent History]]

  • I have installed Adobe Flash but firefox does not show as plugin

    I have downloaded the most recent versions of Firefox (30.0) and Adobe Flash Player. The Adobe website tells me my flash player is installed and current but Firefox does not show it as a plug in and a site that requires flash player (google finance) to view charts does not work. The place for the chart remains blank after telling me it has loaded.
    Any thoughts?

    When a page is using a plugin, usually an icon similar to a piece of Lego appears in the address bar. You can click the logo to check that Flash is allowed to run on the page, or approve it to run if it isn't.
    I randomly picked a stock and enlarged the chart and got the following URL. Any luck with this one: http://www.google.com/finance?chdnp=1&chdd=1&chds=1&chdv=1&chvs=maximized&chdeh=0&chfdeh=0&chdet=1405540800000&chddm=1173&chls=IntervalBasedLine&q=NASDAQ%3AAAPL&ntsp=0&fct=big&ei=YJzGU_iiEZSziALE4oCYCg
    Does it matter whether you view it in a regular tab or in a private window? To view in a private window, right-click the link > Open Link in New Private Window.

  • Firefox does not re-initiate TCP session when receiving RST-ACK

    Hello guys,
    I’m writing to report a disparity between firefox and IE/Chrome when receiving RST-ACK.
    To mitigate SYN flood attack, one of the countermeasures of anti-ddos appliance is to reset the first 3-way handshake and expect a re-initiated new tcp session from that client. If the real client, browser for example, automatically re-initiate a new session, users won’t feel too much differences except time of delay. If a browser does not automatically start a new session, users have to manually refresh the page within an interval, like 60 seconds.
    We got reports from customers that firefox gave notifications of connection reset, as Graph 1 is. I tested with IE11, Chrome and firefox. It’s found that Chrome and IE will automatically started a new session, while firefox does not. For firefox users, they had to manually refresh the page.
    Anti-ddos appliance (A10 TPS, Arbor & HUAWEI secospace) does provide another option to avoid seeing this notification. I understand there must be consideration and good reasons for firefox to design the browser this way. May I ask whether it is possible to adjust a little on firefox to let it automatically re-fresh the page when seeing a RST-ACK please? Guess it’s quite common for firefox users to see the notification when access URLs during DDos attacks, because for A10 TPS & Arbor, the default setting is to reset the first 3-way handshake.
    Feel free to let me know if I missed something and got things wrong.
    Appreciate it much for your time!

  • Facebook says that firefox does not re cognize other web sites for tagged photos.

    I have firefox and when I get on facebook and use my profile to view photos that I have been tagged in. they do not show up. all comments show, but when I click on view photo, it tells me that firefox does not recognize other web sites and wants me to approve them. this has never happened to me till I updated to this fire fox.

    If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
    *Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
    *Check that images are enabled: Tools > Options > Content: [X] Load images automatically
    *Check the exceptions in "Tools > Options > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
    *Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
    If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "<i>Block Images from...</i>" then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
    Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.images pref should be 1.<br />
    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
    There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.

  • I wish to unistall Firefox so I can make a clean install to get rid of all the Yahoo tabs, but Mozilla Firefox does not appear in the list of programs in Window

    I have tried the suggestions posted in mozilla support for removing Yahoo from the new tab and the default search, but I have not been successful. So, I thought I would uninstall Firefox from my computer and make a clean install. However Mozilla Firefox does not appear as one of my Currently installed programs in Control Panel\ Add or Remove Programs, and C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\uninstall\helper.exe does not open or run. I fear I may have been the victim of some ?Yahoo malware. Any suggestions gratefully received.
    I have Firefox 22.0 and my computer runs XP sp3.

    Do you have the Default Tab extension?
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

    Use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).

  • Firefox does not open Gmail to send link when I click the Send Link option on the menu. I have set Gmail as the mailto option, but did not help

    Firefox does not activate Gmail when I click send link in the menu under File or by right click menu on a webpage. I have set Gmail as the Mail to under options, but this did not help.

    I have the same problem but it appears that an add-on I'm using is causing the problem. Try opening Firefox in safe mode (which disables add-ons) Then try it. If that solves the problem, you need to disable all your add ons and enable them one by one to figure out which one(s) is causing the problem.
