In terminal, I opened up Fire Fox 3, and began to use it. When it closed down, I received the following errors.

CODE

$ firefox3

Any ideas on how to resolve the problem?

Do you have two versions of Firefox installed?

Anyway, rename your ~/.mozilla directory to ~/.mozilla2. Then open Firefox3 and see if that helps.

Nope, that didn't work. Here's what I got in terminal.

CODE

$ firefox3

I don't think I have 2 firefoxes loaded. Doing updates, who knows what I did. But anyway, I searched for others, but I didn't find any. Also, according to MCC, I only have firefox3 installed, along with the Italian interface and the lib files.

Just out of curiosity, I cranked up the Opera browser, using terminal, and this is what I got.

CODE

$ opera
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libjvm.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libawt.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.

Any other ideas as how to resolve the problem?

Did Firefox3 crash/close that time? I don't see any errors or segmentation faults?

I'll take a guess and say that you need to set Locales to UTF-8 or else install Locales.

It's not actually a problem. Just ignore it. It's unavoidable.

Running Mandriva 2008.0 and Firefox 3.01. I get the same warning as well. No crashes though.

Greg, I did not know what to expect when I changed ./mozilla to ./mozilla2. After I changed it, I immediately looked at terminal to see what happened. When I saw all the errors, I wrote my response here. I was expecting the errors not to be there. But you're right, FireFox has not crashed since I made the change, even if I get all the errors.

Is there a file, cookie or something else that caused FireFox to crash?

Thanks,
Kieth
