Did you compile firefox yourself or is it a binary?

RoaCh Of DisCor · 11-30-2004, 10:38 PM

I used the GUI installer it comes with.

Ahh..gotcha...Sorry about that...

I'm having the same problem tough not with the site RoaCh of DisCor mentioned. See this post:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=256055

does anyone have a solution to this?

I'm using an binary file of firefox. AMD 64 running slack 10/current with 2.6.9 kernel

Do you have any extensions installed? I fiddled with urbandictionary.com for a couple of minutes using Firefox but wasn't able to reproduce your problem. I am using my own Firefox 1.0+ build and have no extensions installed.

RoaCh Of DisCor · 12-03-2004, 06:18 PM

I uninstalled all of my extensions..but still...same issue. Odd...what is also wierd is, it only does this when I scroll up or down.

I fixed my own problem. I downloaded slackgrade (a nice GUI tool) http://slackgrade.sourceforge.net/ ...and upgraded all of my packages. I rebooted, and...to my surprise everything works perfect and is smoother than ever! No more crashes in firefox...and everything just seems to be running better. I'm guessing the fix was simply upgrading one or more of the required packages for running firefox. Anywho...fixed!

RoaCh Of DisCor, you might want to edit the url, the "...and" at the end makes it not reachable.

RoaCh Of DisCor · 12-08-2004, 01:36 PM

Oops..Okay, fixed.
