FF sometimes crashes before trying to put up additional windows, and sometimes after putting up some of them (as in the attached recording).
** Attachment added: "This is a recording of FF 32 failing to start up successfully." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1368956/+attachment/4202646/+files/RMD_FF_32_NotOK-2.ogv -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1368956 Title: I have been unable to use FF versions after 28 - my windows/tabs never finish loading, and FF crashes. Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Each time a new FireFox version comes out, I install it, and then end up un-installing it, as it is unable to finish loading up my windows and tabs. When this happened the first time, with version 29, I had to search the internet to find a version 28 for Ubuntu that I could install. Since then, I just keep it in Downloads, and re-install that one with GDebi when the newest FF again doesn't work... I don't know what the problem is, but something basic changed with version 29, and remained that way ever since. I will attach and add RecordMyDesktop recordings of both version 28 working, and version 32 not working. -------------------------------------------- scott@scott-AsusM2N68-AM-Plus:~$ uname -a Linux scott-AsusM2N68-AM-Plus 3.13.0-35-generic-tuxonice #62~ppa1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 2 06:22:52 UTC 2014 i686 athlon i686 GNU/Linux scott@scott-AsusM2N68-AM-Plus:~$ lsb_release -dsc Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS trusty scott@scott-AsusM2N68-AM-Plus:~$ echo $DESKTOP_SESSION Lubuntu Firefox versions: works fine: 28.0+build2-0ubuntu2 current non-working version: 32.0+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: firefox 32.0+build1-0ubuntu0.14.04.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-35.62~ppa1-generic-tuxonice 3.13.11.6 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-35-generic-tuxonice i686 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia AddonCompatCheckDisabled: False ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.3 Architecture: i386 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: scott 1528 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC1: scott 1528 F.... pulseaudio BuildID: 20140830211128 CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'iw' Channel: Unavailable CurrentDesktop: LXDE Date: Fri Sep 12 16:33:27 2014 DefaultProfileIncompatibleExtensions: English (South Africa) Language Pack - langpack-en...@firefox.mozilla.org English (GB) Language Pack - langpack-en...@firefox.mozilla.org Default - {972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd} DefaultProfilePrefSources: prefs.js [Profile]/extensions/{D4DD63FA-01E4-46a7-B6B1-EDAB7D6AD389}/defaults/preferences/downbarconfig.js ForcedLayersAccel: False IfupdownConfig: # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) auto lo iface lo inet loopback InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-04-26 (139 days ago) InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release i386 (20140416.2) IpRoute: default via 192.168.0.1 dev eth0 proto static 192.168.0.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.2 metric 1 MostRecentCrashID: bp-bc66a0cd-1d8f-4546-b3ec-9d1242140912 PciNetwork: Profile1IncompatibleExtensions: Global Menu Bar integration - globalm...@ubuntu.com English (South Africa) Language Pack - langpack-en...@firefox.mozilla.org English (GB) Language Pack - langpack-en...@firefox.mozilla.org Default - {972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd} Profile1PrefSources: prefs.js Profiles: Profile0 (Default) - LastVersion=32.0/20140830211128 Profile1 - LastVersion=28.0/20140410211157 (Out of date) RelatedPackageVersions: icedtea-7-plugin 1.5-1ubuntu1 browser-plugin-gnash 0.8.11~git20130903-3ubuntu1 gecko-mediaplayer 1.0.8-4ubuntu1 RfKill: RunningIncompatibleAddons: True SourcePackage: firefox UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 06/10/2010 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 1802 dmi.board.asset.tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.board.name: M2N68-AM Plus dmi.board.vendor: ASUSTeK Computer INC. dmi.board.version: Rev X.0x dmi.chassis.asset.tag: Asset-1234567890 dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.chassis.vendor: Chassis Manufacture dmi.chassis.version: Chassis Version dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr1802:bd06/10/2010:svnSystemmanufacturer:pnSystemProductName:pvrSystemVersion:rvnASUSTeKComputerINC.:rnM2N68-AMPlus:rvrRevX.0x:cvnChassisManufacture:ct3:cvrChassisVersion: dmi.product.name: System Product Name dmi.product.version: System Version dmi.sys.vendor: System manufacturer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1368956/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
