I had a somewhat related problem with galeon a few days ago. I downloaded the source rpm from mozilla.org and compiled both mozilla and galeon with athlon optimization. When I started galeon it kept opening a new tab. It may have made new tabs instead of windows in my case since I have it set to use tabs instead of windows for things like popups. I would close the tabs and more would come. I went back to Mozilla 1.0.1 for a while, but the native themes bug got really annoying. So then I saw Mozilla 1.2.1 and Galeon 1.2.7 were in rawhide. So I just downloaded them and they have worked great. There is definitely something "strange" going on with Galeon as when it start doing "automatic starting" it will cripple Mozilla (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=80375) and to stop this has to be reinstalled. I also saw this. Updating to the rawhide packages for mozilla and galeon (plus deleting the ~/.galeon directory so it had to start oven) fixed the problem. That might have been one of the fixes that I included. Marking as WORKSFORME. |
Description of problem: After upgrade from RedHat 8.0 to RedHat 8.0.92 when I start Galeon it will keep starting itself so in every second there is yet another copy of Galeon running. How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Upgrade from Red Hat 8.0 to RedHat Public Beta Phoebe. 2. Start galeon. Actual results: Continous flow of started Galeons... Expected results: Only one Galeon happily running... Additional info: [IS@haskaa IS]$ rpm -qa|grep mozilla mozilla-devel-1.2.1-3 mozilla-mail-1.2.1-3 mozilla-1.2.1-3 mozilla-nss-1.2.1-3 mozilla-js-debugger-1.2.1-3 mozilla-dom-inspector-1.2.1-3 mozilla-nspr-devel-1.2.1-3 mozilla-psm-1.2.1-3 mozilla-nspr-1.2.1-3 mozilla-chat-1.2.1-3 mozilla-nss-devel-1.2.1-3 [IS@haskaa IS]$ rpm -qa|grep galeon galeon-1.2.7-0 [IS@haskaa IS]$ (Deletion of .galeon directory did not help.) This may be related to my reported issue about Mozilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=80375 How to fix the issue?
