Bug 91802 – Various breakages with Mozilla 1.7.7

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: VERIFIED NEEDINFO

[Description Timothy Miller 2005-05-07 08:02:23 UTC]

I just upgraded from Mozilla 1.7.5 to 1.7.7, and I haven't even begun to explore the things that have broken.  Here are two that I've found so far:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=293261
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=293263

I have no way of telling if it's a Gentoo problem (and they're likely to blame it on Gentoo) or if something got borked in the ebuild.

Reproducible: Always

more information would be appreciated 
please post the output of the commands 

"emerge info" 

also 

"emerge -pv mozilla"

[Comment 2 Steev Klimaszewski (RETIRED) 2005-05-07 14:49:34 UTC]

And I would also suggest as the Mozilla response - check your .mozilla directory for permissions, as well as the chrome - you could mv ~/.mozilla ~/mozilla-backup and restart mozilla and see if that works.

have you moved .mozilla out of the way and re-run Mozilla - do you still get the same problems?

[Comment 5 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2005-12-22 19:24:24 UTC]

No response from user - see comment #4.

[Comment 6 Timothy Miller 2005-12-23 06:41:02 UTC]

My apologies for not having gotten back to you sooner.  Moving .mozilla did indeed fix the problems.  My guess is that there was a format change in some of the files that wasn't transitioned properly by the new version.

This is a well-known upstream issue, profiles often break after upgrade. :/ Thanks for reporting back, closing.
