I've also noticed that Firefox will not operate correctly after some updates, and a reboot seems to fix this.

Logging out from your X session and then restarting it (ctrl-alt-backspace) should suffice to get Firefox to work again with an updated glibc.

Thanks fo that tip Leonard.

I will try that next time Firefox seems to be acting oddly.

Kind Regards,

Keith Roberts
