And what does say:

$nm -D /lib/libnspr4.so | grep "SetCurrentThreadName"

42b048d0 T PR_SetCurrentThreadName

Hm, I have no idea why it fails to start, you clearly have right library with the missing symbol inside.

You can regenrate your ld cache:

#ldconfig

and you also can debug ld.so dynamic linker:

$export LD_DEBUG=all
$export LD_DEBUG_OUTPUT=some_file.txt
$firefox 

and investigate the created files for the PR_SetCurrentThreadName symbol.

i downloaded firefox from  http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/  and that worked fine ,only the firefox provided with yum fails to start , so i don't think its a problem with xulrunner

It's because we ship binary parts of firefox in xulrunner package. And does the xulrunner start for you?

I can also get the downloaded firefox to work fine, its only the yum firefox that fails. I don't have any other issues, thunderbird and all works fine.

yep xulrunner starts

Please test the new update at https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-17028/firefox-16.0.2-1.fc17,xulrunner-16.0.2-1.fc17 and if it does not help please provide the logs from comment 10.

It still did not work.. I will email you direct with the log files created.

Yes, it's because you have an old nspr in your firefox folder (/usr/lib/firefox) - probably from your mozilla binary tarball. Uninstall the firefox package, remove /usr/lib/firefox directory and install the firefox again.

Thanks, that worked. Strange I did not install the tarball version until after the fedora one stopped working. Thanks.

deleted every thing in /usr/lib/firefox and extracted the firefox tar.bz2 to it,every thing is working perfect now :)
