Comment 8 Martin Stransky 2012-10-19 07:59:32 UTC
And what does say:

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

Comment 9 Dean 2012-10-19 08:21:08 UTC
42b048d0 T PR_SetCurrentThreadName

Comment 10 Martin Stransky 2012-10-19 08:32:50 UTC
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.

Comment 11 Ravindu 2012-10-20 16:04:34 UTC
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

Comment 12 Martin Stransky 2012-10-22 07:08:18 UTC
It's because we ship binary parts of firefox in xulrunner package. And does the xulrunner start for you?

Comment 13 Dean 2012-10-22 10:38:56 UTC
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.

Comment 14 Ravindu 2012-10-23 08:02:42 UTC
yep xulrunner starts

Comment 15 Martin Stransky 2012-10-30 11:50:36 UTC
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.

Comment 16 Dean 2012-10-30 21:03:27 UTC
It still did not work.. I will email you direct with the log files created.

Comment 17 Martin Stransky 2012-10-31 12:10:27 UTC
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.

Comment 18 Dean 2012-11-02 14:34:21 UTC
Thanks, that worked. Strange I did not install the tarball version until after the fedora one stopped working. Thanks.

Comment 19 Ravindu 2012-11-03 14:30:52 UTC
deleted every thing in /usr/lib/firefox and extracted the firefox tar.bz2 to it,every thing is working perfect now :)

Comment 20 Martin Stransky 2012-11-06 10:12:04 UTC
Okay, closing.
