[Bug 579933] Re: Firefox refuses to start

[Cameron Smith]

Hi, Launchpad did not send me a notification of your comment, but in the
meantime I did some tests myself which suggest that the problem is
related to profile.

TEST 1. - REINSTALL FIREFOX PACKAGE
  1. Synaptic Package Manager -> select 'firefox' -> Remove Completely -> Apply
  2. Synaptic Package Manager -> select 'firefox' -> Mark for Installation -> Apply
RESULT: problem continues

TEST 1. - REINSTALL FIREFOX PACKAGE AND MANUALLY REMOVE ALL TRACES
  1. Synaptic Package Manager -> select 'firefox' -> Remove Completely -> Apply
  2. Manually remove traces
    sudo rm -rf /etc/firefox-3.0
    sudo rm -rf ~/.mozilla
  3. Synaptic Package Manager -> select 'firefox' -> Mark for Installation -> Apply
  4. Run firefox and make sure not to import anything on first run.
RESULT: firefox works!

I will now try and see if I can find out what it was in my profile that
caused the problem.
