How fix Firefox?
Posted: Sun May 22, 2016 7:08 am
Having solved most problems with my full-fledged MATE 16.04 on its own 1TB drive (finally allowed to log in, access files from USB stick and other devices/partitions, type Korean and Japanese, etc.) I decided it was time to put the sides back on my X1000 box. When I turned the machine back on, I couldn't boot that version of MATE!
My guess: when I had put the right-hand side back on, maybe I disturbed the wire connections. So I disconnected and reconnected them. Booted OK next time, but before I put the side back on again, I replaced the red wire to that hard drive on the earlier advice of someone on this group. (John, I think).
OK, now it boots fine again, but when I try to launch Firefox, I briefly get a tiny window labelled "Firefox safe mode," then nothing.
I found another browser, Midori, which came right up and allowed me to access this page. I was going to post this from there, but decided to first make sure Firefox still worked from other Ubuntu installs, so now I'm posting from 12.04. On the way I tried the /dev/sda9 version of MATE, and it wouldn't boot. "Low graphics mode." It usually comes up fine.
Anyway, I'm probably the only one who has no idea how to fix Firefox in /dev/sdc2. Please give me a hint.
Poking around, I think this is a statement of the problem: "(firefox:4170): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk-main.css:69:33: Failed to import: Error opening file: No such file or directory". I found someone else with a similar problem, except his was "(vino-server:15016): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk-main.css:69:33: Failed to import: Erreur à l'ouverture du fichier : Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type," with vino-server rather than firefox. My French has gotten so rusty I can't tell whether or how he fixed the problem.
