I have been having issues with the Firefox browser for the past few months.
Firefox version: 3.6.11 Ubuntu x86_64 OS: Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64 Add ons: Flash block, Ad Block+, image block Issue faced: Occasionally on booting up and starting Firefox, the top menu bar, the location bar drop down, backward and forward, refresh and home do not work. Clicking them has no effect. Though I can enter a url in the location bar, the drop down that gives recently browsed sites is unavailable. Using the keyboard shortcuts for these doesn't work too. So essentially all my browsing history, bookmarks, saved passwords are not accessible. Restarting the browser/system doesn't help. Deleting the whole profile folder restores the functionality, though it takes me back to a blank slate as far as my personalisation and browsing history is concerned and everything needs to be rebuilt. Restoring the profile folder causes the issue to reappear. So it appears to have something to do with the profile stored. Would like to look if any one has has similar issues but can't get a hang of how to best describe this or how others would have described it. Any pointers, suggestions etc to resolve this. I am sure you understand how bad it feels when all the history, bookmarks, passwords etc are in a way lost when this happens. Also how and where to post this or search if already similar bug is posted with Ubuntu and Firefox. P.S: Is there a way to separate the personal info like history, passwords and bookmarks from the profile somehow? Narendra Diwate
