Hi
I have recently upgraded my firefox to 33.0. Before it was working very well but now its freezing again and again and I had to kill it (by using kill -9). Following is the output, when I start firefox from terminal and when it freezes:

Code:

13:36:29 ~>firefox

What is wrong here with my firefox? How can it can be fixed?

Try to remove /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libevbrowserplugin.so, see if it helps.

if that doesn't help, please give us more details about your setup.

File is not there:

Code:

13:47:22 ~>sudo rm -iv /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libevbrowserplugin.so
rm: cannot remove ‘/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libevbrowserplugin.so’: No such file or directory

However, 'ls' shows this:

Code:

13:47:22 ~>ls /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
gecko-mediaplayer-dvx.so  gecko-mediaplayer.so      libflashplayer.so
gecko-mediaplayer-qt.so   gecko-mediaplayer-wmp.so  nppdf.so
gecko-mediaplayer-rm.so   IcedTeaPlugin.so

Which details you need?

What else?

ondoho · 10-23-2014, 02:37 AM

try to retsart with addons disabled.
or with a fresh profile (rename your profile folder in ~/mozilla/firefox).
does it help?

Now Firefox hasn't crashed for last 2 days. Maybe the problem is fixed (strangly by itself). Few more days will make it clear that the problem still exits or not.
Thanks.
