List,
After I think the last or next to last update to firefox, I started
seeing some problems, wherein I no longer have a "back" function on
any
pages or tabs. Also, I get some kind of strange message....
"Assertion Failed ASSERT:***Search:_installLocation: engine has no
file! Stack Trace: 0 ENSURE_WARN(false,_installLocation: engine has no
file!.2147500037)
1:()2:()3:()4:90:epsGetAttr([objectObject],hidden)5:906:907:currentEngine()
8:get_currentEngine()9:updateDisplay() 10:init() 11:([object XULElement],0)
I realize this is not the proper place for FF related problems, but
thought I'd ask if someone else has seen something like this happen.
Prior to the last 2 updates, FF appeared to be working properly, and all
the forward/back buttons worked.
Assistance would be mighty helpful..
Thanks

I've got all the latest on my 5.x 386 system w/NP. Regardless, I don't really know enough to help, but I thought knowing that mine worked might lead you somewhere. Maybe an rpm --verify? Maybe something got krunked during update? Bad download?, etc.> > Thanks > > Sa, > <snip sig stuff>HTH -- Bill

One fine morning there was no back button for any page in addition the awesomebar of ff3 was not working i.e it was not completing urls and i was not getting fullscreen even after pressing F11 numerous times. i tried disabling the flash and java plugins and also the other plugins but nothing worked. Then i created a second ff profile from backup and till date that problem has not resurfaced yet. so i now run two profiles side-by -side one being a backup.> rpm -q firefox > firefox-3.0.5-1.el5.centos> [freedom at desktop ~]$ sudo grep -i firefox /var/log/yum.log* > Password: > /var/log/yum.log:Dec 25 08:37:00 Updated: firefox - 3.0.5-1.el5.centos.i386 > /var/log/yum.log.1:Sep 26 18:16:54 Updated: firefox - 3.0.2-3.el5.centos.i386 > /var/log/yum.log.1:Nov 15 11:03:30 Updated: firefox - 3.0.4-1.el5.centos.i386 > /var/log/yum.log.2:Aug 30 22:16:08 Updated: firefox - 3.0.1-1.el5.centos.i386

Because this is the behaviour which normally is seen when you try to continue to work with the previous version of firefox after an update. It might just be that even after closing all windows there still is an old process hanging around and newly opened windows get created by that process. So make sure that you kill *all* instances of firefox and try again. Cheers, Ralph -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
