Firefox broken after stupid update

**Ivanjn** · 21-Sep-2009, 16:00

Hi!

After updating my system firefox doesn't works and puts the next error in terminal: "Could not find compatible GRE between version 1.9.1.3 and 1.9.1.3."

I've been searching/reading in forums and no solution found. Any ideas?

(removing .mozilla directory doesn't solve my problem)

Also Kaffeine change the look it has, and it is not yet my default videoplayer.... is there a way to know what have i changed (log or something similar??)

My System:
Opensuse 11.1 64 bits
Kde 4.3.1 release 165

You haven't been looking too well

When you update firefox you also need to update xulrunner to appropriate version. Make sure that xulrunner was also updated.

Also you fetched a kaffeine update from kde4 factory, you need to switch back to Packman, the kde4 version will not work.

To BenderBendingRodriguez: xulrunner is updated too. I have the mozilla repo on. I think it's time to buy a new hdd and do some cleaning and upgrading.....

ps. do you speak spanish? i'm spanish and i think i can explain better in that language....

to caf 4926: i've just upgraded down kaffeine and it works ok again, thanks a lot....

Hmmm, not really though i plan to learn it

So you have firefox and xulrunner installed? I propose to UNinstall both firefox and any xulrunner version 1.9.x

Then install firefox again, which should pull appropriate xulrunner version and save it somewhere on the working part of the disk

Maybe disabling the mozilla repo, and "downgrading" to the current stable version would also help?

I had that same error message when I tried the newer Firefox version, and decided to downgrade it again.

If you actually have the Mozilla repo and have priority 99 on it and the same on Updates. If Updates provides a new package then it will use it, if you let it. This should not be a problem.
See my screen

I can't uninstall firefox and xulrunner because yast gives me a lot of error of dependencies. (or downgrade KDE 4.3 to 4.1). Is it possible to uninstall and then reinstall in command line forgetting the dependencies? is it too risky?

I'm gonna try that growbag says, it's simple and nice. i like this solution. hope it works
