Mozilla
My Mozilla is screwing up and now I can't get it to start up, it tries but it will not. It started when they wanted me to install Flash Player so I did and after that Mozilla would not start. The taskbar would say starting Mozilla but that would just crash.
Any advice?

A reboot, is normally only needed after a kernel upgrade. Try renaming /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so.bak and see if it still crashes then

I also suggest rebooting, because there may be a program that is running that needs to be shutdown. If that doesn't solve it, run mozilla from a commandline/xterm and copy/paste to us the output.

If it is an extension you can just start it with the -safe-mode switch and it will disable all of them. If that works, then it's just an extension problem.

How do I run it in safe-mode, I am not quite sure of how to do that.

he just told you, with the "-safe-mode" switch
$ mozilla-firefox -safe-mode
-safe-mode Disables extensions and themes for this session.

I know but, every time I type in
$ mozilla-firefox -safe-mode
it returns an error message:
bash: mozilla-firefox: command not found
so I thought I was doing something wrong and could get a fix

When you say Mozilla, do you mean Firefox?
On my system, running
starts Firefox.
Try:
Code:
$ firefox -safe-mode
"bash: mozilla-firefox: command not found" means that "mozilla-firefox" is not a valid command.

Alright I tried the firefox -safe-mode command (I just didn't think about using firefox command), but firefox still crashes even in safe-mode.

I appreciate all your help and I got the problem fixed. I had to access the root user and then invoke the firefox script from the terminal in root. It is odd but I can live with it, until I figure how to fix it through some research.

mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla.bak
start firefox, whatever you did extensions or something else made it unstable, dont do it again
