Mozilla Crashes when I click in the address bar, help needed

[thelorax]

Hi,

 

Since my harddrive just died :( I have just done a fresh install of Mandrake 9.0 and eveything works except mozilla or firebird. This is mozilla 1.4 or 1.5 and firebird .6.

 

All of them freeze as soon as I click in the address bar. If I just click on links on a webpage, i.e the default start page then they work fine. But one click in the address bar and they freeze solid and I have to kill them.

 

Both complained on launch of not being able to find libmozjs.so, even though it is in the directory. I tried linking that to/usr/lib and that allowed them to launch.

 

Mozilla 1.1 works fine, but I don't want to be without firebird. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as its got me well and truly stumped.

 

thanks

I had those issues with 1.4 but when typing not when clicking.

 

What i was told to do was to disable "Find text as you type in a web page" in the Keyboard Navigation over the Advanced tab in the Preferences.

 

Hope it helps, good luck-

Thanks a lot that seems to have done the job!

 

You just made my day :)

:lol: you are welcome :lol:

 

what firebird are you using?? 0.7.1?? if so... how much better it got from 0.6?

[thelorax]

Yup I'm using 0.71 and to be honest I can't tell the difference between it and 0.6. Mind you I never had any problems with 0.6 it always worked perfectly for me.

 

Thanks again.
