Hi,
recently I yielded to the impulse to try Firefox 1.5 RCx. It worked
after installation until I restarted the system for an unrelated
matter. Then it seems to grind to a halt after startup, occupying the
screen, not permitting any typing in the location window and failing
to respond when I clicked the X in the top right to close it out. I
was able to SU and then kill the process.
So I thought I'd drop back to 1.0.7. I then did yum remove firefox
and yum install firefox. But the problem persists. I assume therefore
that the problem was unrelated to the version change. I don't know
where to look for diagnostic information. Ideas?
No specific ideas, but have you tried moving your Firefox user settings
(~/.mozilla/firefox) to a backup directory? It's possible something has
happened to it.
