No firefox; no seamonkey

English Applications

Running 13.2 on two different computers (both 64bit) I have no working browser.

Seamonkey (my preferred system) says
~> seamonkey

(process:10857): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion ‘sys_page_size == 0’ failed
/usr/bin/seamonkey: line 140: 10857 Segmentation fault $MOZ_PROGRAM “$@”

and nothing seems to cange tis --using latest build fron openuSE

Firefix puts up a window saying it crashed and if i restsart it just repeats.

So I am left with no browser (for exanmple chrome will not install asit is missing dependecies) and I am remporting this from a Debian machine.

Any suggestions as how to recover? I suspect a duff library but no idea which

I am seeing that, too.

The first line (“Glib-CRITICAL”) is not a problem as far as I know.

So I did:


cd .mozilla
mv seamonkey seamonkey.old

and then seamonkey started without a problem. So there’s an issue in my profile that I will need to investigate. I don’t normally use seamonkey, so not an urgent problem here.

On the other hand, firefox is working here without any problems.

Thankds for the response but no help

birtwistle:~/.mozilla> mv seamonkey/ seamonkey.old
birtwistle:~/.mozilla> cd
birtwistle:~> seamonkey

/usr/bin/seamonkey: line 140: 17429 Segmentation fault $MOZ_PROGRAM “$@”

I realise that /usr/bin/seamonkey is a scriot that ultimately calls /usr/lib64/seamonkey/seamonkey-bin
but not sure how to find what is crashing

…Just called under gdb – not much help

the “GLib-CRITICAL” notice is a old and non critical warning

i am running Seamonkey as i type so…
but FF has the same non critical warning


GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed

this is not new
i think it ALSO was on opensuse 11 ( when 11 was supported)

Quite. That was not my worry but included for accuracy.

My complaint was tat seamonkey segv’ed. I have “fixed” this by deleting te .mozila/seamonkey file, but I have no idea why tis happened, which gives a freeling of insecurity. and loss of bookmarks and passwiords

firefox just started afgain with no action.
