Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 438689
firefox is almost unusable
Last modified: 2008-03-25 06:15:53 EDT
Description of problem: firefox, built on top of xulrunner is completely unusable, while non-xulrunner build from ftp.mozilla.org works fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-3.0-0.45.cvs20080317.fc9 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install firefox from rawhide 2. run (on current profile or on new) Actual results: * history is not saved * locationbar doesn't display current address, but typed string (even when tab opened or closed) * there's wrong context menu for bookmarks bar (all possible items are visible: those for rss and for folders too) * bookmarks doesn't work Expected results: everything works as in mozilla's build Additional info: works on opensuse (I mean the xulrunner build ofc.)
* resizing search field doesn't work
Cannot reproduce any of this. Your version of firefox is old too: firefox-3.0-0.46.cvs20080320.fc9.x86_64

Interesting. I'm using it right now to write this comment :). Your locale is Polish, correct? I'll install a Polish system and see if I can reproduce. Mine is en_US?
Installed a polish machine and can still do all of the above items. * Browser displays correct location (tried a google search and clicked on a result - address bar showed location of clicked on page) * Bookmarks functional (made bookmark, closed browser, opened browser and found bookmark still there and took me to bookmarked location) * exited browser and history still there
Sorry, X in rawhide went wacky on me before I was done with my previous comment. * Able to resize search box and obviously since I was able to do all these things I was able to launch it :) Your yum call to enable the development repo tells me that this is not a fully rawhide machine. There may be dependencies on the new version of glibc for example in rawhide, or maybe some weird Xorg 7.3 stuff that it uses since it was compiled with it. But on a fresh rawhide Polish install, everything worked fine for me.
You're probably right... Firefox from rawhide never worked on 8 properly. Epiphany and Yelp worked nice.
