Abrowser refusing to launch after a recent system upgrade
- Login o registrati per inviare commenti
Hi everyone,
A couple of apt upgrades ago, Abrowser started refusing to launch. When I use the menu item for it (under Internet), or the launch icon on the taskbar, the "Starting Abrowser ..." message appears in the taskbar, then nothing.
Running: ps ax | grep abrowser
... shows a PID only for the grep command itself.
Typing: "abrowser"
... into a terminal and hitting enter spits out:
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "topmenu-gtk-module"
Segmentation fault
strypey@Bishop:~$ Exception ignored in: <_io.TextIOWrapper name='' mode='w' encoding='UTF-8'>
BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe
Anyone know what's gone wrong here and how to fix it? I could try uninstalling and reinstalling?
Maybe this is the same problem as in the other Abrowser thread:
https://trisquel.info/en/forum/abrowser-7201-wont-load-after-update
chaosmonk suggested trying to set "network.captive-portal-service.enabled" to false in your ~/.mozilla/abrowser/[your profile]/{prefs.js,user.js} properties file.
Alternatively, replacing your profile with a new one using "mv .mozilla/abrowser .mozilla/abrowser~" may also work, but you'll get a new blank profile.

Yes, this worked for me. I got all my bookmarks back! (Thank goodness,
because I have years worth of detailed bookmarks in my Firefox profile.
I can find anything in there.)

Thanks for the pointer to the pre-existing thread, I did search for one before opening a new one, but failed to find it. Yes, the issue seems to be the same. When I start a guest session Abrowser launches as normal. The only add-ons I use are NoScript and uBlock Origin, but maybe one (or both) of them could have something to do with the problem?
