Description of problem: (1) crashes daily, (2) utube videos only play halfway, then hang, (3) video sound terribly choppy or inaudible even when turned all the way up, (4) won't save preferences, i.e., cookies/images/popups enabled disappear upon restart, (5) won't save tabs for restart, (6) yahoo mail won't allow signin or reset, just can't access yahoo mail all of a sudden, period.  This has all been going on for weeks, believe since beta 'update'.

Comment 1 faith 2009-08-29 16:59:34 UTC

update:  looks like I don't have a beta version anymore.  Only problems that remain are:

(2) utube videos only play halfway,then hang;
(3) video sound won't go as loud as it did in Windoze even when turned all
the way up, and after a minute of play, gets terribly choppy, i.e, can't make out the words at all;
(4) won't save preferences, i.e., cookies/images/popups enabled
disappear upon restart, 
(5) won't remember tabs on restart.

please help!
thanks ...

well, utube videos are playing again after firefox update, and sound somehow got better ... but Firefox still not remembering tabs on restart ... and still not remembering which sites were set to have cookies, images and popups enabled.  this is seriously irritating and time-consuming ... can anyone help, please?

Could you make a test for me? Try to move ~/.mozilla somewhere else (or rename it to _mozilla, or something) and restart firefox. Does it help? Does it save tabs then?

With the original ~/.mozilla back, does it work better when you run wihtout any plugins (i.e., run firefox -safe-mode in a gnome-terminal)?

Thank you

Original reporter, we are very sorry it took so long to get a response to you, but I am sending this out as a reminder that we are looking for you to further test this. Please let us know if you cannot, or will not, or if you do, what the results are. Thank you for your time and efforts.
