Any one else seeing this? Any ideas?
What version of FF are you running?
Is it 18.0~b2+build1-0ubuntu1?
You could try stable version.
I am using the stable quantal version 17.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.12.10.1
and that runs well.
Re: Firefox launcher problem
I have had programs that after updating will not launch from the launcher. I just unlock from the launcher. Start the program from dash or terminal and then lock the new instance to the launcher.

I tried that first thing. No joy. I deleted the profile and had FF generate a new one, and it worked fine for a while, but then started failing again.

Yes, I'm using the 18.0 beta that Raring installs normally. I may try the quantal version. The odd thing is that it works just fine from terminal or Alt-F2.
Re: Firefox launcher problem
Having trouble with launcher Firefox on three pc's - netbook, notebook, tower. Right click and select Firefox Web Browser usually works. This bug popped up on Ringtail unstable (of course) a few days ago and still persists.

Thanks for the confirmation, Jerry.
Not sure what the mechanism might be for this glitch, but I'm sure it will clear up soon enough. Some malformed .desktop file? who knows?

Re: Firefox launcher problem
What are these numbers on icons on the launcher?
I did not notice that at my place...

Unity shortcut hint overlay. Hold superkey and tap the number on keyboard :)
