Error trying to upgrade Friefox {Solved}

[willie42]

Today I attempted to upgrade to firefox8.0 and it did not go well. I am now using iceweasel and I am wanting to fix Firefox if possible. I could not get firefox 8 to work so I uninstalled and attempted a reinstall of 5 which is the one I was using to begin with. I have 5 installed and trying to run from the command line I get this.

Code: Select all

willie42@linux12 ~ $ firefox
###!!! ABORT: file /home/clem/src/mozilla-release/ipc/chromium/src/base/thread_local_posix.cc, line 33
###!!! ABORT: file /home/clem/src/mozilla-release/ipc/chromium/src/base/thread_local_posix.cc, line 33
Aborted

If anyone can either help me get 8 installed or help me get 5 reinstalled it will be much appreciated.

another learning experience for me

Edit: I am using LMDE

Have you tried grabbing it using Synaptic Package Manager or Software Manager?

[willie42]

well only 5 is in the Software Manager and reinstalling it caused this error. I have tried a few things but to no avail.

This one is solved. I checked for updates and it so happen that one of the updates for Firefox fixed it. I am not sure of how but its fixed.
