I tried all suggestions, firefox is still not load it appears as if try, the "starting firefox ..." appears at the bottom of screen for few seconds and then disappears. So it is time to do a full installation? I will wait while just in case there may be some new idea to try. Thanks to all of you.
This shouldn't be this difficult to troubleshoot. Step 1: touch /forefsck shutdown -r nowThis reboots Fedora. Upon reboot, all your partitions auto-fscked. This should fix any filesystem corruption that might result in application failures, like Firefox.
Step 2: rpm -e firefox yum install firefoxThis removes and reinstalls Firefox, which would fix any unlikely application corruption.
If Firefox still fails to start up: Step 3: mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.saveThis removes -- renames actually -- the Firefox configuration directory. The next time Firefox starts, it will create an empty, default, configuration. If Firefox now runs, you had a problem with a corrupted/bad configuration. You, of course, will lose all your bookmarks and extensions. If this fixes your problem, you can later try to recover to salvage and recover whatever your can, from your saved configuration directory.
If Firefox still fails to load, there are only two possibilities: A. You're hitting a bone-fide bug in Firefox, for some reason. B. Somehow, some unknown system libraries got corrupted.You may be able to obtain some clues by running "firefox" from a terminal window, which would dump any errors that Firefox barfs to standard output or standard error, which you would not ordinary see when starting Firefox from the desktop.
