I've been running Firefox 4 on Centos 5 (had to find a libstdc++.so.6 for it by perusing newer systems from which I could steal one, but it's been fine since then).
Well, today firefox pushed down an update to Firefox 4.0.1 without saying what it was, and it turns out to have been firefox 5. fine, I wanted it anyway.
But when I restarted it, I got a completely black browser window. Clicked on the X close button and got a completely black confirmation dialog. weird.
exited it and tried safe mode. Works fine.
ldd reports no conflicts or missing libraries.
anybody else seen this? anyone got suggestions on what I should try next?
Thanks!
My guess is that you compiled from source, and that is not something (vast majority of) CentOS users do, so I would not hold my breath that anyone uses Firefox 4 on CentOS 5.x.
Just return to 4.0 and you should be fine, I guess.
