Does it help if you set "xpinstall.signatures.required" to false in about:config? Just tried, I set it to false and restarted Firefox. No it doesn't. I have not tried a full system reboot. Let me know if you want me to test anything else. I think that is mainly about Firefox extensions or addons. I don't think it is about the relation between the computer/gnome and firefox. Can you please attach a backtrace when Firefox freezes? How-to is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Debugging_guidelines_for_Mozilla_products#Application_freeze Created attachment 1118580 [details]
A backtrace for this Firefox Bug.
I am providing a backtrace as requested. Please note that I am never generated a backtrace before so I hope it does not contain any errors.
I followed the exact steps that cause Firefox not to respond to extensions.

Second attachment for the backtrace, I think the first one was faulty.
>> google_breakpad::CrashGenerationServer::Run() There may be a problem with mozilla crash reporter. Please try install this update with disabled mozilla crash reporter: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=715453 if this build crashes please report that by ABRT tool and/or attach the backtrace here. Thanks! Upstream bug - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1241483 Hello Martin, the new version (official) of Firefox for Fedora now works. |
Created attachment 1116930 [details] Firefox hangs at the extensions page. Description of problem: The new version of Firefox seems to lack the gnome extensions integration plugin despite the plugin is shown as installed and enabled. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 43.0.3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install gnome-tweak-tool 2.Click on install extensions 3.The extension page is shown. Click on an extension of your choice Actual results: Firefox can't integrate the extensions with gnome, you can neither install or uninstall, nor are the buttons shown. Expected results: Firefox should be able to install extensions normally or gnome web browser (epiphany) should become default for the tweak tool and for extensions. Additional info:I can install extensions normally through the gnome web browser. This was fixed in previous Firefox versions.
