This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 499982 ***
reopened, because duplicate was closed as insufficient_data and I can't provide information requested in that bug (I've never seen any crashes related to the exception information in console). I guess the other bug contains two issues mixed together.
Attempting to set up for this bug. firefox -g complains bitterly via ddd No package /usr/lib/debug/.build-id/e7/51f768c3bed428ed8f5ae5ee0acff53f6280cf.debug available.
-the simple cure, after looking at the JavaScript sudo touch /usr/lib/firefox-3.5.6/update.locale
The simple cure works until you update firefox with yum again. The old installation directory is then left with just the update.locale file and the new directory does not have the update.locale file. Every firefox update I see the javascript errors in the console and I have to solve the same problem all over again. Normally I forget where the little file was that I had to touch and end up finding the answer on the mozilla site all over again. I'm guessing its not as simple as just the rpm touching this file for us when it installs? Ubuntu seems to have a similar bug entry where if i read it correctly they thought upstream could fix it and then gave up. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.5/+bug/411691 However an automatic workaround that doesn't require the user to touch files would be nice.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
problem still exists in F-14
Should be already fixed in rawhide, please reopen if not.
