Hey All, Has anyone had trouble with Firefox/Thunderbird? When I log on if I start Thunderbird first then I can't start Firefox. Clicking on a link in an email fails to start Firefox. If I start Firefox before Thunderbird then hyperlinks in emails open a page in the existing Firefox instance. Other users on this same machine are having the same problems. This has been happening for that last several days.

"places.sqlite" when backed up as a bookmarks-*.json file, i do not believe, backup "history folders". imbw. if correct, backing up bookmarks, then restoring from *.json would restore bookmarks without history folders. tho it would be easier/quicker to just delete folders under "History" in "Library" window. problems with firefox may be easy to locate by using logging of "Browser Console", which is opened with <ctrl+shift+j>. after opening, click on [Clear], then close "Browser Console", then firefox. next, try opening a hot link, after firefox crashes, open firefox manually, open "Browser Console", read what is shown to see what may be causing problem. also see hot link #5 bellow. following are a few of bookmarks that i have related to your problem, _if_ problem is related to "places.sqlite", as suggested. 1a- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Category:History 1b- http://kb.mozillazine.org/History.dat 2- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Places.sqlite 3a- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/Places/ 3b- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Tech/Places/Database 4- kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes 5- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad again, after you get this problem solved, i will post easy way of archiving mozilla progs. hth. -- peace out. in a world with out fences, who needs gates. tc,hago. g .

Try downgrading nss-softokn to 3.14.3-17.el6 to 'fix' the issue. Hopefully a patched version is released upstream soon. Akemi
