Something I didn't check, sorry, is that creating a new profile solved this. It also solved #64209, and let me uninstall install extensions again. You don't really need to create a new profile, just go to your profile directory("/home/<username>/.mozilla/firefox/default.<smthng>") and delete "compreg.dat". A similar thunderbird issue can also be fixed in this way. should this me mentioned upstream? I see the the solution is presented here, but, this is a major issue. Hmm I found that my arrow keys stopped working with the new Firefox as well. But the solution above worked. Maybe we should have a patch in the ebuild that removes compreg.dat for all users on every emerge. Or is that unsafe? removes compreg.dat didn't work for me... I'm still using konqueror for daily browsing... ;( it takes an extra 15 minutes away from my life each day due to horrible tab closing issues... I've told the Firefox devs about this workaround (which solved the issue on my box), since it appears to me that they haven't found a solution yet (see their bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=187083). Fixed in mozilla-launcher-1.20: 27 Sep 2004; Aron Griffis <agriffis@gentoo.org> +mozilla-launcher-1.20.ebuild: Update to 1.20, marked ~arch, to remove compreg.dat on first run of a new version #63999 Later versions of mozilla-launcher also remove other problematic files. |
