Up until recently I've been seeing the same (or very similar; mine only |
| 29 |
ever crashed, never hung hogging CPU) problem downloading files in |
| 30 |
firefox-bin; if I tried to browse to a different folder to save in it |
| 31 |
triggered a crash, but if I saved in the folder it started in it would |
| 32 |
work. I don't use firefox-bin much, only for those (few) flash sites I |
| 33 |
want to see, so I didn't really care much about this problem. Anyway, I |
| 34 |
just tried it again now, and it actually works fine for me now. Not |
| 35 |
sure why it works now, but one possibile cause that I found & fixed |
| 36 |
yesterday, is that there was an old libc-2.3.4 in /emul/linux/x86/lib |
| 37 |
that was being found before the libc-2.4 in /lib32. "Equery belongs" |
| 38 |
showed the old libc wasn't owned by any installed ebuild, so I moved it, |
| 39 |
and that resolved the problems (unrelated to firefox-bin) that had |
| 40 |
revealed the stale /emul/linux/x86/lib files in the first place. Not |
| 41 |
sure if that's actually what had been causing my firefox-bin crash or |
| 42 |
not, but I think it's a reasonable possibility. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Hope you getting it working, |
| 45 |
