Firefox (Upgrade) NO START

[PaulRS]

This is a new virtual ECS 2.1 install
I downloaded the files from Warpzilla

Firefox 17 also Firefox 24 along with
libc066 & gcc4core (required)
fontconfig (required)
pthread/mmap (required)

I installed all four "required" support files/packages and then
unzipped the Firefox package into a new directory (24 first)

I went to a prompt and FF apears to start but then returns to the
prompt leaving no complaints. I then tried the same with FF17 and got
the same result. The warpin files installed in their own directories
and the I put the pthread/mmap into \ecs\dll.

Any help?

that?

I got everything that the "Warpzilla" site said was required.

libc066 (required)
gcc4core (required)
fontconfig (required)
pthread/mmap (required)

The included ESC Firefox 10.xx runs fine

Do you know of any other requirements? Sure could use a README.OS2
for an install.
I looked up firefox on Hobbes and the dll's seem to be what was on the
Warpzilla site.

No, I guess I had been used to MCP2 putting complaints on the failed
prompt line. I checked this log.
In any case on trying a startup this is what popup.log says

I got a SYS2070 for two files "XUL" and "LIBC066"
Both exist on the virtual install.

SYS2070 said "The system delayed the loading of some of the
applications code until it was needed. Now there is a problem loading
the needed code segment.

Firefox fixed itself, Dropbox is still broken.
The QT files are in \os2\dll, but XUL is only in the Firefox directory.

Is the problem in the installation package?

directory.

So copy those large DLLs to C:\ACCS\NDFS\NDPDBOX-0.4.0.B5 too?

Only Mozilla uses xul. I'd guess that you have the wrong version[s] of
the QT dlls installed or multiple installs of them.
SYS2070 is usually a wrong/bad DLL error

Somehow you're loading the wrong versions of mozjs.dll and xul.dll
(though it is strange that libc066 is there). Do you have any Mozilla
apps in LIBPATH or running? Do you have multiple copies of libc06*.dll
installed? You should only have the one libc066.dll along with the
forwarder dlls (libc061.dll to libc065.dll).
Try opening a cmd prompt in your Firefox directory and entering these,
set LIBPATHSTRICT=T
SET BEGINLIBPATH=.\.
firefox.exe
and see if that helps or changes the popup.log entries

On other programs are running - no mozilla for sure.

I tried the above on the FF17 directory - popuplog.os2 gives the
exact same info for this start.

Note: The supplied FF4 with ECS 2.1 works fine
Also put FF10 into a directory and it also works fine

The problem is with the FF17 and FF24
One further bit of info: on installing the required *.wpi files one
said (not sure which) a file being installed is older than the one
supplied with ECS 2.1 - I opted to keep the newer file.

FF4 and FF10 didn't have so many dependencies though IIRC ff10 did use

You could try replacing the libc dlls with the ones from this package,
http://rpm.netlabs.org/release/00/zip/libc-0_6_6-26_oc00.zip
But first try upgrading/installing exceptq with the exceptq.dll in this
package, http://rpm.netlabs.org/release/00/zip/exceptq-7_11-8_oc00.zip

Tried the 'libs' from that 2nd package: distorm.dll; distorm.xqs;
exceptq.dll; exceptdq.xqs with the same SYS2070 results on FF17 - -
FF10 still worked with this change.

Getting tired - - - will try the libc pkg tommorrow ---- THANKS FOR
ALL THE HELP THUS FAR (Paul)

A New Day :-)

The LIBC file claims not to be a zip file. Could not dissolve it.
I also tried to dissolve under an opensuse linux box (10.3) - same

Some New Info:
This may be a problem with the Virtual Host. I have and old box
that I installed ECS 2.1 on and decided to see how FF17 & FF 24 would
do there. I installed all the required extras. LIBC, GCCcore, Fonts,
mmap, p---?
Then I installed FF10 FF17 and FF24 Each loaded perfectly (but
slow) on this older slower box. No problems on true hardware.

The Virtual Software is "MS Virtual PC 2007" under Windows 7 Pro. It
has worked in time past for MCP2 on a laptop. The laptop is I5 -
2.3GHz w/8GB Ram.

I have been doing testing things with the ECS 2.1 for a few weeks, but
I did not think there was anything to corrupt things. So my next
step is to install a fresh ECS 2.1 virtual machine and load the four
required packages and try again with FF17 & FF24. Will let you know
the outcome.

Just completed a fresh (clean) new virtual ecs 2.1 under MS Virtual PC
2007 w/virtual machine additions.
The four required supporting packages were installed then FF17

I "fired it up" and IT WORKED.

I had run DIR file* /s on each library file and found no duplicates.
But in any case things are now working. I have no idea why the
original virtual machine balked at FF17 & FF24.
