Start it from a command prompt like this: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
$ NSPR_LOG_MODULES=all:5 /usr/bin/firefox |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
The :5 is the maximum debug level. You can change it to :3 if you get overwhelmed |
| 38 |
by the amount of output. You should see some big error messages if firefox is as |
| 39 |
broken as it seems to be. |
