Thread: Firefox profile disabled during first Karmic boot

After the setup of Ubuntu 9.10 64bit version, an error was being displayed which was related to the Firefox during the first startup. It mainly specifies that the Firefox profile was being disabled because of an issue in Xulrunner.

I am troubled that I am not so Linux-savvy to make out what that means. But, I cannot make any connection to the Internet. Any imminent on the meaning of the trouble, whether the profile as well as the connection issues are some related as well as on what I could undertake to fix the situation would be more respected.

Thank you in advance.

Are you able to Ping the test? Firefox can be down but that doesn’t mean additional programs can't access the web.
does:

If so you can run:
Sudo apt-get --purge remove Firefox*; sudo apt-get --purge auto remove; sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get install firefox-3.5
And you will reinstall Firefox once more
If that fails then try:
mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla_old

After that continue the Firefox. If this works you have 2 choices:
1. rename back (rm -rf ~/.mozilla; mv ~/.mozilla_old ~/.mozilla) as well as try to troubleshoot the defective profile (hard)

Or else

2. Stick with the new-fangled profile as well as rebuild (you can import favorites from the previous profile) with new saved password (if you make use of them) as well as skins / plugins / whatever (easy)

Thanks that fix my issue.
