Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

Performed upgrade from Karmic to Lucid Beta 1 on MacBook Pro 1,1. The upgrade failed once (I had to fix broken packages and then finish the upgrade with Synaptic). After the upgrade, Firefox (3.6+nobinonly+0ubuntu6) will not start (Starting Firefox Web Browser tab appears, but does not open the Firefox window). I reinstalled Firefox from synaptic with no change.

Does it work when you rename your .mozilla dir? (move .mozilla mozilla-backup)

It works now that I renamed ~/.mozilla

Thanks! Vielen Dank!

This still would qualify as a bug if it is repeatable for others.

Update - I have to delete ~/.mozilla each time I log on to open Firefox. Once I log out or restart, Firefox will not open the next time I attempt to open it. I delete ~/.mozilla, and Firefox opens up.
