Description of problem: Since a few days, Firefox stopped working. Starting the binary from the console without wrapper script, IOW, with /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.10/firefox-bin, produces the following error message: Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "<theme-name>" The error message remains even when changing theme using gnome-theme-manager, to change from Clearlooks to Bluecurve, for example. However, the theme engine seems to work, since other applications using Gtk-themes do accept the changes (e.g. OpenOffice). I created a separate user account for testing from a clean home directory, and there Firefox works. I tried deleting .gnome*, .gconf*, .gtk*, .config and .kde/share/config/gtkrc*, but to no avail. I backed up and deleted .mozilla, too, to no avail. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I tried with both firefox-1.5.0.9 and firefox-1.5.0.10 How reproducible: In my broken home directory, every time, in the testing directory, never. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Firefox 2. 3. Actual results: Nothing happens, or, if /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.*/firefox-bin was started from a console, the error message (firefox-bin:19771): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "bluecurve", Segmentation fault appears. Expected results: Firefox starts and is available for use. Additional info: As mentioned above, Firefox worked just fine until a few days ago, though I can't see what happened. I did access that home directory from Ubuntu Feisty (shared homedir for two distros, though Fedora is what I really work with, Ubuntu is a spare for testing when things break or weren't released yet in Fedora), but that always worked perfectly in the past, admittedly under Edgy.
please attach a backtrace, how-to is here - http://people.redhat.com/stransky/mozilla/

Or do you mean I should use a profiler (ddd) or something similar? I have no experience with C programming and would appreciate some hand holding. BTW, I also tried running Firefox in safe mode and had the following error: [afolger@dhcppc0 ~]$ /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.10/firefox -safe-mode (firefox-bin:25109): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "clearlooks", /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.10/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 25109 Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"} [afolger@dhcppc0 ~] Eagerly awaiting your instructions...
search for firefox-debuginfo package.
I did that. In addition to the above, I also did the following: [root@dhcppc0 afolger]# yum list "firefox*" Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up repositories core 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 updates 100% |=========================| 1.2 kB 00:00 freshrpms 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files Installed Packages firefox.i386 1.5.0.10-5.fc6 installed firefox-32.x86_64 0.0.1-5.fc6 installed Available Packages firefox.x86_64 1.5.0.10-5.fc6 updates firefox-devel.x86_64 1.5.0.10-5.fc6 updates firefox-devel.i386 1.5.0.10-5.fc6 updates [root@dhcppc0 afolger]# As you can see, AFAICT, there are no firefox-debug packages in the yum repositories. However, I found the package firefox-debuginfo on rpm.pbone.net and installed it. However, there do not seem to be any executables in that package: [root@dhcppc0 afolger]# rpm -i /projects/downloads/firefox-debuginfo-1.5.0.9-3.fc6.i386.rpm [root@dhcppc0 afolger]# rpm -ql firefox-debuginfo|grep bin /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.9/extensions/inspector/components/libinspector.so.debug /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.9/firefox-bin.debug /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.9/libgtkxtbin.so.debug /usr/src/debug/firefox-1.5.0.9/mozilla/editor/libeditor/base/nsIAbsorbingTransaction.h /usr/src/debug/firefox-1.5.0.9/mozilla/widget/src/gtkxtbin /usr/src/debug/firefox-1.5.0.9/mozilla/widget/src/gtkxtbin/gtk2xtbin.c /usr/src/debug/firefox-1.5.0.9/mozilla/widget/src/gtkxtbin/gtk2xtbin.h [root@dhcppc0 afolger]# In fact, I tried the following: [afolger@dhcppc0 ~]$ /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.9/firefox-bin.debug bash: /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.9/firefox-bin.debug: cannot execute binary file So something ain't working here in the debug package, I am afraid.
martin, he doesn't have core-debuinfo repository. Reporter, could you please try again with --enablerepo=core-debuginfo. I.e., yum list --enablerepo=core-debuginfo firefox\* and then yum install --enablerepo=core-debuginfo firefox-debuginfo
Thanks. So I uninstalled the rpm from rpm.pbone.net, and I executed the above yum command succesfully. But the problem remains. What binary should I run? I tried the following: [root@dhcppc0 afolger]# rpm -ql firefox-debuginfo|grep bin /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.7/extensions/inspector/components/libinspector.so.debug /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.7/firefox-bin.debug /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.7/libgtkxtbin.so.debug /usr/src/debug/mozilla/editor/libeditor/base/nsIAbsorbingTransaction.h /usr/src/debug/mozilla/widget/src/gtkxtbin /usr/src/debug/mozilla/widget/src/gtkxtbin/gtk2xtbin.c /usr/src/debug/mozilla/widget/src/gtkxtbin/gtk2xtbin.h [root@dhcppc0 afolger]# Which produced almost the output as with the earlier debug package (except for the version, as yum produces 1.5.0.7, while rpmbone had version 1.5.0.9). So I tried running what seemed the best candidate for the firefox binary: [afolger@dhcppc0 ~]$ /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.7/firefox-bin.debug bash: /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.7/firefox-bin.debug: cannot execute binary file [afolger@dhcppc0 ~]$ So what should I do now?
I am sorry, we should tell you. No, the content of -debuginfo* is for the purposes of running firefox just heap of useless junk, it is used when generating backtrace (about that in the moment). Just go ahead and run (as if nothing happened; but check that you have installed gdb package) firefox -g and when you get the command prompt than just type handle SIG33 noprint nostop and hit ENTER and run and hit Enter again and behave as if nothing happened, just browse and do whatever you can to reproduce the crash (visit the same website, etc.). When firefox crashes (it's window may just remain frozen, ignore it) you go back into gdb command prompt and then run thread apply all bt full the result should be copied into the comment of this bug. Thank you very much. Full the description of all this stuff is http://kb.mozillazine.org/Getting_a_stacktrace_with_gdb
mcepl, I did as you asked.

Developers, have you been able to study this issue? I am still without a functional firefox setup. Your help is very much appreciated.
I played around with the dotfiles, and finally found the likely culprit: .ICEauthority. I still have the file, and can make it available, assuming that would help anyone. However, I have no idea how the file got into my homedir (I thought it belonged there and had been there forever). Interestingly enough, it didn't bother firefox2 of Ubuntu Feisty. Anyway, at this point, the matter is no longer pressing for me.
Aha, okay. Closing as WORKSFORME for now.
