Firefox 8 doesn't start in Fedora 12

Downloaded firefox-8.0.tar.bz2 from getfirefox.com, unpacked, but Firefox 8.0 doesn't start:
[root@seb4 firefox]# ./firefox
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /opt/firefox/libxpcom.so:
libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn't load XPCOM.
I already have Firefox 3.6 installed as part of Fedora 12 and it works fine, but it's too old for some websites.

FF isn't working => change your OS. What kind of "solution" is that? Also I already have the FF version installed by the SM.
I am switching to Chrome, which works *just* fine. Thank you.

Firefox apparently doesn't start from the icon, but it says it is active when the computer is shut down.

Apparently Firefox is running, but I can't see any evidence of this on the screen. When I reboot the computer, usually I can call up and use Firefox as usual. This is quite a nuisance, as it happens several times an hour. No notification of a crash is provided, ever.

See "Hang at exit":
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs
* [[Firefox hangs]]

Doesn't start when starting as administrator. Error Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.

Update firefox, it asked me to update flash, I tried to update flash but it said I had to close firefox. A box came up and said the Flash install would continue when I closed firefox. I closed all firefox windows and no update of flash occurred. I tried relaunching firefox but got the "Doesn't start when starting as administrator. Error Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system." message. I rebooted the system, no improvement. I tried to run firefox as administrator and got the same message. Either I find a fix or I won't be able to use firefox and will have to go back to ie.

-> press '''CTRL''' + '''SHIFT''' + '''ESC''' to Open Task Manager -> Processes tab -> right-click '''firefox.exe''' and click '''End Process Tree''' -> close Task Manager

When I click on the firefox icon it doesn't start unless I then try and open something else - at which point it starts after the other program -how can I stop this?

When I try and open firefox -either from the start menu or desktop shortcut -it doesn't open unless I open another program first. Eg I click firefox and then say 'word' and then 'word' will open followed by firefox- not only is it a bit irritating but also means I get distracted(!) as I usually chose solitaire because it opens quickly.
Doesn't happen with other programs ...
Wouldn't open at all today until a restart - before it would restart I got an error that said firefox wasn't responding - but possibly that isn't connected as computer wasn't shut down properly the day before.

This is because the regular central Nightly channel builds is only the desktop version. The version on Nightly development channel is at 21.0a1 now actually.
You need a build that has Metro support.
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-elm/
Many users state they cannot get Metro version to work on 32-bit Windows anyways.
There is this running thread at mozillaZine about the Metro builds. http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2304983

When i double-click the mozilla icon, it doesn't start. In the task manager i noted that the process "firefox.exe" appears and desappear after 5 seconds. The problem remains in mozilla safe-mode, but not in windows safe-mode. Thks!

Yesterday i installed the firefox 6.0 on my windows 7 computer. When i double-click the mozilla icon, it doesn't start. I opened the task manager and noted that the process "firefox.exe" appears and desappear after 5 seconds. I tried to start mozilla in safe mode but the problem remains. The only way to use mozilla in my computer is restarting the windows in safe-mode. Last thing: i already tried to reinstall the program. Please help me!

I'm also using Windows 7 on a Lenovo U310 laptop.

Firefox 4 doesn't open start page when started.

Firefox 4 doesn't open start page when started. It opens the tabs that were open when I closed it. According to settings, it should open start page.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
If that didn't help then do a clean (re-)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* 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.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Firefox doesn't start after exiting

Each time I exit firefox normaly or it crashes, FF doesn't start again. Firefox appears for 1 or 2 seconds in active processes and dessappears without any error messages. Computer restart doesn't solve this. Only reinstalling FF makes it start again, but only for one time. If I exit FF it won't start untill next reinstallation.

After exiting and launching FF for second time firefox.exe appears for 1 or 2 seconds in active processes in TM and dissapears. No errors shown.

Firefox doesn't start after update [SOLVED]

After one month I have updated my system...
Now firefox doesn't start anymore because of a

When I double click on Firefox Icon, it doesn't start

when I double click on Firefox icon the clock glass appears on my pointer but the Firefox doesn't start. but some days like today it opens and doesn't have any problem.
I predict that I will have this problem again after I close the Firefox's window.
The problem started since a few days after updating my Firefox.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== afew days after updating my firefox

One of your add-ons might be the culprit. Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If that solves the problem, see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and possibly [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
~~~~~~~~~~~
If that does not solve the problem, [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles#Creating_a_profile create a new profile] Then, Recover your data from the old profile. See http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Recovering+important+data+from+an+old+profile

Firefox doesn't start

it crashed during an update
tried re-installing
tried uninstalling and re-installing
tried creating new profile, profile manager doesn't start
uses 50k memory and 50% of CPU power

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.
See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls

When I close firefox it doesn't really close it seems to be hidden. Then when I try to start it again I have to Alt, Ctrl, Del, go to process , turn it off then hit it to start again. I can not get it to open in the hidden process that it is in

Apparently when I close Firefox it doesn't really close. I get told when I try to open Firefox later "Firefox is still open, you must close Firefox, Then reopen it. Then I hit Alt, Ctrl & Del, go to process's then I have to close it then reopen it. It does not open until it is closed in process's.

The process can take a few seconds to close. Sometimes you need to use Task Manager.

Chromium doesn't start and suspend, shutdown don't work occassionally

Hello,
I have this problem on my laptop but since chromium doesn't start on my desktop either, I don't think it's specific to laptops.
When I try to start chromium in a terminal, I get a blank window (I can tell because I use spectrwm):
ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment.
[25148:25148:0215/130205:ERROR:background_mode_manager_aura.cc(14)] Not implemented reached in virtual void BackgroundModeManager::EnableLaunchOnStartup(bool)
I temporarily resorted to using Firefox instead, but at times it just freezes up while opening some pages. After that point, even killing firefox doesn't help: the system load level keeps on rising. I used pidof to check if firefox is still running, but I had no output from pidof. After having firefox to freeze, shutdown, suspend, etc don't work. The laptop goes to a black screen state, but the power LED remains on indefinitely.
These might be two separate issues, but they started together on my laptop.
Thanks in advance!

It started happening after upgrade:
[2015-02-15 09:43] [ALPM] upgraded chromium (40.0.2214.94-1 -> 40.0.2214.111-1)
I was wondering if it has anything to do with some X-related upgrades:
[2015-02-15 09:42] [ALPM] upgraded xorg-server-common (1.16.3-2 -> 1.16.4-1)
[2015-02-15 09:43] [ALPM] upgraded xorg-server (1.16.3-2 -> 1.16.4-1)
[2015-02-15 09:48] [ALPM] upgraded xorg-server-devel (1.16.3-2 -> 1.16.4-1)
[2015-02-15 09:45] [ALPM] upgraded nvidia (346.35-5 -> 346.35-6)
I tried to downgrade chromimu to 40.0.2214.94-1 and it didn't help. I tried to downgrade nvidia, xorg-server and xorg-server-devel to previous versions, when everything worked and X chouldn't start.
Other observations are that if I start chromium, the ps command hangs and I have to reboot the system to be able to use ps command again.

It's worth mentioning that I also run spectrwm, like SgrA, however i don't have other issues with freezing on shutdown etc.
