Hi there all,
So, I've had a few problems with installation of Ubuntu 10.04.
Firstly, my Firefox crashes every two seconds. I can't go to any website for any more than a few seconds before it crashes. I came onto my wife's computer (this one I'm typing on now), and found from another thread that it might be an add on problem, so I tried to get into the Add-Ons menu to disable them - but it crashed.
So I went into Nautilus and deleted everything from my .mozilla folder, just to start fresh. Firefox opened again, naturally without the extensions - but then it crashed.
So then I tried to take the .mozilla file from the backup I'd made before I'd upgraded, and put that in there instead. No problem - all the extensions were back - then it crashed.
Finally, I decided I might try reinstalling it - but it wouldn't let me: not in synaptic, or USC, or even Tweak. So I uninstalled it, expecting to install it fresh - but synaptic etc won't let me install Firefox. In fact, it won't let me install Firefox, Midori, Chromium, any web browser... or as I've discovered, ANYTHING AT ALL.
So what have I done that has led to all this mess?!
