Public bug reported: Upgraded to 10.04 from, I think it was 8.04? (it was pretty old). Everything seemed to go ok, except sound and firefox. I found some other web advice to do with fixing up alsa, so sound works now. But still firefox will not start.
Click the icon, error window "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." Try to start from command line, same window, and the following error messages: (firefox:2781): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported. /home/tina/.esd_auth: Permission denied I can check, and if /home/tina/.esd_auth actually exists, then I can remove it and try again, same result. Sometimes that .esd_auth reappears, sometimes it doesn't. I have moved .mozilla off to .mozilla_old, afaik I have no profiles, still can't open. Based on some other advice, I rm -rf /tmp/.esd-1001/, but that didn't help. > uname -a Linux starbuck 2.6.32-38-generic #83-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 4 11:13:04 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux > firefox -v Mozilla Firefox 10.0.1 ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/933283 Title: Fresh 10.04 upgrade, firefox won't run To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/933283/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
