Anyone else having issues with firefox post upgrade to firefox 7?

'cos I am.

Its the Linpus acer again,  now firefox doesn't work again.

Any ideas

Firefox 7 was an accidental upgrade as I wasn't paying attention..

Clicking the firefox icon makes the hour glass whir then nothing, no start to application.

What sort of issues? Hanging-for-up-to-a-minute-every-few-minutes type issues?

Me too - on Windows 7 Starter, Acer Aspire One. It's annoying. So annoying in fact, it's driven me to use IE. Yes - I know, that annoying.

Upgrade to what version? I've been on FireFox 6.0.2 for a while and haven't had any (new) problems.

The only issue I am having, which will be completely unrelated to yours, is that Flash keeps crashing (3.6.23 on XP), so far a Flash update has fixed that, didn't happen in IE.

Open a terminal and type 'firefox'.  What error message do you get?

[Gattopardo]

[user@localhost ~]$ firefox
bash: firefox: command not found
[user@localhost ~]$

This is what I get.

I had a spring autumn clean. Uninstalled Firefox with the "Delete data directories" option, and re-installed.

Seems fine now.

IE - get back in your box.

[tiermat]

[user@localhost ~]$ firefox
bash: firefox: command not found
[user@localhost ~]$

This is what I get.

therein lies your problem, has the binary name changed?

$ find / -iname '*firefox*'

If that gives you naught, try su to root then try again.

Since getting Mr Firefox's Ver 7 upgrade I seem to have been invaded by a piece of shit called "IncrediMail" - anyone else had this - it seems like an alternative e-mail client and a toolbar that fits in Firefox?

On this steam-powered XP box FF7 is a metric fuckton better than FF6.  Much less reluctant to start in the morning and doesn't randomly stop updating the screen when typing stuff such as this post.  6 was so shite on this box that I went back to 3.6, though it was fine on my lapdancer

Firefox 7.0.1 working ok here with no issues. I'm running XP SP3 on a Pentium 4 3.0Ghz with 2 gig of RAM beans.  All looking hunky dory.
