Not having the best week. Struggling with one issue and have another.

On work centos 6 vm I don't seem to be able to launch Firefox anymore.

I've tried a uninstall/reinstall. I've removed my profile and nothing.

If I jump on to another server via SSH and do a Firefox --no-remote it launches.

But I can't launch it locally. :confused:

Tried a ldd firefox to see there's no libs missing?

Or see if theres any errors on the console ?

I haven't tried that. Will try on Monday. It's blooming annoying as I don't really have the time to rebuild my box. I'm already snowed under with a project I'm working on.

It's a strange one. When I open up Firefox it just sits in the task bar and then disappears.

If I do a reboot I see a stuck Firefox processes.

No errors in /var/log I could see.

I get the bug reported thing pop up tho.
 
The bug that keeps popping up is the following:

"Process /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV)"

----

When I run ldd on firefox I get the below:

ldd /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fffbe3b3000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00000030db200000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00000030db600000)
librt.so.1 => /lib64/librt.so.1 (0x00000030dba00000)
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00000030e6600000)
libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00000030dbe00000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00000030e5e00000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00000030dae00000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00000030daa00000)

If the error reporting turns up then a lib can't be missing (at least not in the ELF shared object table which is what ldd will show you.).

I'd hazard you need to wipe your profile properly, you tried just moving `.mozilla` to `.mozilla_old`

Just tried this still no joy.

I'm thinking it might just be quicker for me to rebuild my box than try to trouble shoot this issue.

Your going to need to start logging in as opethdisciple-new :D

It tells us theres an environment variable set for your user that Firefox doesnt like, or there is a per-user config file thats corrupt etc. It means its not a system-wide problem, which helps.

OK. Created new user and it too can't launch Firefox.
 
I found that you can run Firefox in debug mode by using the flag -g but it doesnt really show anything interesting:

firefox -g

It just hangs here and doesn't go any further.

you got any weird libraries in /usr/local and that's in your ld.so.conf? The output of ldd might show something going to somewhere unexpected I guess... Still if it works over ssh then that all points to some env issue, so new user would be best test

It doesn't launch for a new user either.

Haven't had time to really trouble shoot this this week. Work is too busy.

I am in the process tho of preparing a new VM so I can just get on with life. :p
