 |
|
Hello i am using firefox and after installing some extensions firefox on my user account is not working, it loads but no keyboard or mouse commands work and cannot type type into addess bar or activate menus.
In root account it works fine.
When installing the extension it gave me option to install into profile or root so all users could use it, i choose root but this did not work because of permissions problems so installed into profile.
I have tried deleting .pheonix folder in home dir and unmerging re emerging firefox but still no joy.
Where else would these extension have been installed?
Need to get firefox working as mozilla is bit of resource hog.
cheers

carpman,
if it works for root and not for user then users settings are to blame. Make suer you do
as a user (be careful about spelling, it is not pheonix as your post said).
After this, run firefox from terminal to see any error messages.
BTW, in the future, be carefull when installng extensions, they often tend to be horribky buggy I had problems with them myself. |

I do not know what that message means, but here is what you can try: Unmerge mozilla, remove /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox directory (firefox has a lots of stuff there so quite possibly extension you have problems with is also there), reemerge firefox:
| Code: | emerge -C firefox
rm -r /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox
emerge firefox |
Of course, all that should be done as root. Hopefully it will solve your problem. |

That did, many thanks.
Just a note for others, when emerging un emerging you need to type mozilla-firefox
