Firebird doesn't start up

howdy!

my problem: I can't launch firebird

every time I try to start MozillaFirebird-bin, it says that it couldn't load libmozjs.so, because the file doesn't exist - although it does exist in my MozillaFirebird directory!

any ideas, how to get fb working?

thx

try running the MozillaFirebird notice no -bin

I had the same problem after I installed Firebird; the linkage between Epiphany/Galeon and Mozilla was broken and then after some more fiddling, I couldn't get Firebird to start. I finally fixed it by installing Firebird, then uninstalling Mozilla (removepkg mozilla-1.4), then reinstalling Mozilla. Then it all worked.

Good luck,
Alan

yeah, I tried that as well - but nothing happened ...

+ I don't even have mozilla installed.

You shouldn't run the -bin file. You should just have to run the MozillaFirebird executable. Try typing the whole path to it:

/usr/local/MozillaFirebird/MozillaFirebird

Have you tried a new profile? Rename the .phoenix folder in your home directory (delete the dot) and then, as others have said, launch Firebird by typing into a terminal /the/path/to/MozillaFirebird/MozillaFirebird

ok, deleting ~/.phoenix worked!

thank you guys for your help!
