I have to click the firefox icon in my panel twice, first time gets shut down again for some reason. Same error as you guys in terminal.



Hmz... this post says it gets fixed by removing the .mozilla folder from your homefolder. I'll give it a try.

Hi, you do realise that you will lose all your Firefox settings (including bookmarks and addons) when you remove your .mozilla folder?
It might be safer to rename it to .mozilla.bak for example.

If it's that big of a deal to you, run it as:

firefox 2>/dev/null

They're just warnings though. No harm done.

I think this is a problem in the file 'compatability.ini'. I have multiple profiles, so I opened /home/ben/.mozilla and clicked the magnifying glass, entered 'compatibility.ini' and deleted them all.

Firefox started perfectly - but only one time.

So, I edited 'compatability.ini' to read as follows:

[Compatibility]
LastVersion=3.6_20100124075447/20100124075447
LastOSABI=Linux_x86-gcc3
LastPlatformDir=/usr/lib/firefox
LastAppDir=/usr/lib/firefox

Then I saved it, and made it READ ONLY - then copied and pasted it into each of the profile folders.

Now I can launch Firefox normally, and this file isn't rewritten in a way that stops it launching
