Finally I've got it !!

I installed Ubuntu 10.04 completely freshly and .... SAME ISSUE :-(

I found out that I saved the /home/user/.mozilla firefox settings symlinked to a file on a separate mounted NTFS partition.
When I changed the line /etc/fstab which mounts the ntfs partition the problem was over.

Here the corrected line:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g user,exec,umask=000  0 0

The default 'noexec' value and umask = 077 resulted in these errors which only appear in FF 3.6.
That also explains why FF ran only ONCE after install and then not anymore.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestions !

Nope.

It starts only once and then i start again 'firefox' from the command line and nothing happens without any errors.

Should I reinstall #! now ?

I'm really not sure what to suggest. However, I'll list what I have installed, as per synaptic; it may help:

I found in synaptic three packages when I type ubuntuzilla: firefox-mozilla-build 3.6.3, thunderbird-mozilla-buid 3.0.4 and semonkey-mozilla-build 2.0.4

With apt-cache the same:

sudo apt-cache search ubuntuzilla

firefox-mozilla-build - Mozilla Firefox, official Mozilla build, packaged for Ubuntu by the Ubuntuzilla project.
seamonkey-mozilla-build - Mozilla Seamonkey, official Mozilla build, packaged for Ubuntu by the Ubuntuzilla project.
thunderbird-mozilla-build - Mozilla Thunderbird, official Mozilla build, packaged for Ubuntu by the Ubuntuzilla project.

But still no FF3.6 for me.

I'm using FF 3.6.3 on Crunchbang and had no problems installing it.
I would try the following:
- Back up your favourites
- Completely remove FF 3.0 or whatever version you are running, either through Package Manager or the command line
- Install vers 3.6 following the same process on the Ubuntuzilla page.
Good luck

This is one of the first thins I did.

sudo apt-get remove firefox-3.0 xulrunner-1.9

and then reinstalling 3.6 which *did happen but then after starting it started 3.0

It seems that in the firefox-3.6 package there is actually a 3.0 version.

Nope it does not work.

After installing it ran just once (updating the plugins) but after that it did not start even after invoking from the command line "firefox".

When running firefox bin :

/opt/firefox/run-mozilla.sh /opt/firefox/firefox-bin
klaas@klaas-crunchbang:~$ /opt/firefox/firefox-bin
/opt/firefox/firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Running firefox-3.0 runs the old version.

EDIT:

After installing of FF 3.6

After installing firefox-mozilla-build I start:

firefox

outputs:

nsHeaderInfo: registerSelf called!
nsHeaderInfo: registerSelf called!

and it checks plugins and starts normally.

Then I invoke again

firefox

Nothing happens
Then I invoke

/opt/firefox/firefox-bin

outputs

/opt/firefox/firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Before installation I did

sudo apt-get remove firefox firefox-3.0 firefox-3.6 firefox-mozilla-build xulrunner-1.9
sudo rm -rf /opt/firefox
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/firefox
sudo apt-get clean

It seems that it is impossible to install FF 3.6 in #!.

I have #! 9.04 with Firefox 3.018 installedon it and watnted to upgrade to 3.6. I tried several times but every time it reinstalls 3.0.
I got some tips from Google but also from the #! forum :
http://www.google.com/cse?cx=partner-pu … &sa=Search

I tried

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 247510BE
sudo sh -c "echo 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main ' >> /etc/apt/sources.list"
sudo sh -c "echo 'deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main ' >> /etc/apt/sources.list"

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove firefox-3.6  firefox
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get install firefox-3.6

which resulted in reinstallation of FF 3.0.

And then:

echo -e "\ndeb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list > /dev/null
sudo apt-get install firefox-mozilla-build

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get remove firefox-3.6  firefox
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get install firefox-3.6

which again resulted in reinstallation of FF 3.0.

What is the problem here ?
