[Bug 274064] Re: After updating Firefox, errors are encountered when trying to navigate to any page

[Mackenzie Morgan]

Confirming since I've seen this bug too.  I think it has to do with the
updates possibly moving symlinks and libraries around (note that
firefox.sh is located in /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.3/firefox.sh, a location
which changes during updates).

** Summary changed:

- after update errorwhen opening pages
+ After updating Firefox, errors are encountered when trying to navigate to any page

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
+ Steps to Reproduce:
+ 1. Start Firefox
+ 2. Install updates, including Firefox updates
+ 3. Attempt to navigate to any page
+ 
+ Expected result:
+ Webpage opens
+ 
+ Actual result:
+ Error window appears with the following text:
  
  ASSERT: *** Search: _installLocation: engine has no file!
  Stack Trace: 
  0:ENSURE_WARN(false,_installLocation: engine has no file!,2147500037)
