Mozilla Firefox Installation problem on AIX 5.2
I installed firefox 1.04 on a machine running AIX 5.2 and I can run it as root user but when I su to a non-root user, I get no error messages but firefox doesn't start.
Also if I logon directly as a non-root user I get the followig error messages: access control disabled, clients can connect from any host *** nsExtensionManager::_disableObsoleteExtensions - failure, catching exception so finalize window can close *** loading the extensions datasource *** ExtensionManager:_updateManifests: no access privileges to application directory, skipping. (firefox-bin:4602): Gtk-CRITICAL **: file /gestconf/project/GNOME_ACL/GNOME/build/sh_build_GNOME/src/gtk+/gtk/gtkmain.c: line 1151: assertion `main_loops != NULL' failed *** loading the extensions datasource *** ExtensionManager:_updateManifests: no access privileges to application directory, skipping. /tmp/firefox/run-mozilla.sh[36]: 4602 Illegal instruction Any help is most welcome. Thanks |

Thats the issue, but where that is I do not know. Root has access, but your normal user does not ... Check your install docs to see if it talks about perms on specific directories. Rgds Mark Taylor |
Mozilla Firefox Installation problem on AIX 5.2
Thanks for the suggestion Mark. I haven't really been able to get much from documentation but I have been playing around with the permissions and the errors have definitely reduced but so far it's still not working. I should be able to give an update in a few hours

It's still not working and I can't figure out what the problem is. I don't get errors anymore but firefox doesn't start if I'm not root.

Firefox Runs But With Message....
Hi,
I have been able to get firefox to run for both the root and non-root users but I get the following message before the browser opens: ***nsExtensionManager::diableObsoleteExtensions - failure, catching exception so finalize window can close ***loading the extensions datasource ***loading the extensions datasource Is there something I can do about this? Thanks |
Just a thought, have you tried the Mozilla.org forums as well? I've read those a few times and I'd bet someone over there could lend you a hand. Have you tried 1.06, any change in the results?

Working
Thanks for your suggestions.
I finally got it to work. It was due to some permission issues as suggested. |
What were the specifics?
Can you tell me what specific permissions you changed? I'm having the same problem.
|
I made sure all the files and directories had read and execute permissions for all users in addition to whatever the default permissions were.
I also commented out the dump() function calls (with nsExtensionManager in them) in /firefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js to stop the messages |
