My 11.4 installation has been doing well fora couple of weeks. Today firefox won’t start - I just get the bouncy ball thingy and then it stops and doesn’t launch. Firefox is set as default.
Yesterday there was a whole bunch of updates (and again today) but it was after yesterdays updates that things went wrong. My browser was open all the time - and only when it was closed, and I tried to re-open it that I found that there was a problem. In terminal, this is what I get:
Alastairo@linux-742t:~> firefox
