Firefox problems after upgrade to 16.0.2
I just upgraded firefox and things got borked.
For instance, when I open the save file dialog or open file dialog, this is what it looks like: http://imgur.com/emNsS And also flash is not working. Flash said I had to upgrade to the latest version. So I upgraded to alien-bobs package dated 11. November, but still no luck. When I go into about:plugins, flash isn't there. Am I the only one experiencing problems after the upgrade? That is suspect.. |
Do you have a full installation of Slackware?
What happens when you open firefox as another user? (or when you delete the profile for firefox in your homedirektory ~/.firefox ? Instead of deleting the profile you can simply rename it and then open firefox which will then create a new profile. Markus |
Well, that did the trick with flash, but the characters are still squares.

First thought was that there are fonts missing, therefore I asked if you have a full install of Slackware. Could you set your locales (temporarily) to en_US? Are you using UTF-8?
We have a new page about localization at SlackDocs: http://docs.slackware.com/slackware:localization When you set LANG=en_US without UTF-8, what happens with firefox? you can simply in a terminal Code:
export LANG=en_US Markus |
Ops, forgot to answer that questions.
Yes, I have a full installation. I tried to use en_US with no change. Though starting from console reviled this error. Quote:

During boot, /etc/rc.d/rc.M runs /usr/bin/update-pango-querymodules. It builds pango.modules in /etc/pango/i486-slackware-linux or /etc/pango/x86_64-slackware-linux.
|
Do you have a fresh install of Slackware-14 or current? or did you upgrade? did you use slackpkg to keep your system up to date? I ask because I suspect that there are packages (maybe pango) which don't fit to the recent version of Firefox.

Flash though. I thought the problem was fixed, but it wasn't. I now have a clean ~/.mozilla folder. I've tried SBo flash, alienbobs flash and manual install. Either way the outcome is the same. It does not work, and it doesn't show in about:plugins. I've googled and tried various things for two hours without success. |
