I recently sync'd after not having done so in 36 days. Among the packages updated were firefox-bin and xulrunner.
While using awesome wm, I first noticed firefox-bin wouldn't display, but it launched fine in gnome. I tried launching firefox-bin from a terminal, but got no errors. The process seemed to launch fine, but I couldn't see firefox anywhere. Before killing the firefox process I noticed my urxvt windows would draw very slowly. If I view a man page or ls a large dir, it's as if the text were slowly being revealed one line at a time. Other non-terminal based applications would launch and run fine though. I sync'd again, and to my surprise both firefox and xulrunner were updated. Now firefox-bin launches on my x86_64 system, but I still have the problem with terminal windows redrawing themselves very slowly using either urxvt or gnome-terminal. If I use a webkit browser ( uzbl ), the effect is much less apparent, if not completely gone. Is there anything I can try, or more information I can provide? Thanks, Alan
