Firefox bug
Posted: 27 Dec 2014, 12:05
Hi all
I'm sure that some/most of you may already be aware of this bug/problem, but I only came across it today when I tried to launch Firefox from a Bash script, I get:
I'm using Desktop Edition 3.0 with Firefox ESR 24.3.0
Firefox does start and seems stable (so far) but some users of other distros complain of the same thing and an unstable browser:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672671
and here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=833117
Of course one can suppress the error message with 2>/dev/null but is it wise to do so?
I also ran pstree after starting Firefox and I got
and running pstree -p
Has anyone else experienced this with newer (or same) versions of FF and desktop?
Any one experienced crashed or "stuck" Firefox?
Any feedback greatly appreciated.
Dave.
EDIT:
Apologies if this is in the wrong section but I didn't want to put it in the bugs section as it's not a direct Porteus bug.
