Firefox won't start unless mozilla is open?
Hey all,
I am running a combination of SID and SARGE. Ever since I installed the
AMD64 system I have
had problems with Firefox 1.0.7 and Thunderbird 1.0.7. At first it
would take 5-24 attempts to
open Firefox before I could evenually get it open. I would have to keep
killing it with pkill firefox-bin
before the next attempt. I finally discovered that if I opened Mozilla
up first then I would have a better
chance of opening firefox afterwards. For example, my machine has been
up for 3 days without a reboot
and hence, firefox has been open for a while. I closed firefox and
tried to reopen it. Nothing happened
until I opened Mozilla and then Firefox opened immediately!
Any ideas? Sounds like something may not be linked properly (I am no
expert!)?
Same problem with Thunderbird but I have not found a work-around to it.
I just keep trying to open it until
it eventually does open (5-12 attempts usually).
Lance
