update
Dear All,
I am faced with this problem:
Firefox version is 17.0.6 before and after the update
I ran an update today;
bash-4.1# yum history Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security ID | Login user | Date and time | Action(s) | Altered
------------- 296 | james <james> | 2013-06-20 21:08 | E, I, U | 42
I'm not sure which packet could have caused this, but before the update, I could go to
Extra-webdeveloper-remote xul manager
in Firefox and add domains
Now remote xul manager is gone in webdeveloper.
Can anyone offer any advise on this problem?
greetings, J.
Based on:
https://kb.bluecoat.com/index?page=content&id=KB5025&actp=RSS
and other similar postings, it appears that the Remote XUL manager was removed from firefox some time ago (ff4). I suspect that what you have had of late was an addon, which might have been automatically disabled by your firefox instance, likely due to an incompatibility, with the recent centos ff update to 17.0.6. I don't use it so didn't try, but suspect that you can go to your addons panel and update it to get it working again. Searching available addons turns up "Remote XUL Manager 1.2".

Hello Richard,
thanks for the reply.
Indeed, what I have is an add-on, remote xul manager 1.2.
But as I mentioned, Firefox itself did not update. Something else broke xul manager.
Removing and reinstalling it does not help. Removing and reinstalling Firefox does not help.
Greetings, J.

There were also some selinux updates, this is the only thing that seems of some relevance regarding your problem, although you did not specify it. Try to disable selinux (setenforce 0) temporarily and see if the problem persists.

Hello,
thanks for the reply.
No, disabling Selinux did not do it.
So far the only way to get it back it copying back entire .mozilla file from old backups.

If that fixed it, then it wasn't the "yum update" that caused the problem.. Yum will never touch that. It must have been something else, likely pebcak.

thanks for that......
yesterday evening, I pulled out a laptop that didn't update for a while. I opened Firefox, under Extra-Webdeveloper it showed remote xul manager.
I ran yum update, it updated some 43 packages.
I reopened Firefox, xul manager was gone.
I did nothing else on the machine. So I think it's not pebcak

Then use "yum history <transaction number> undo" to revert your system to previous state and run updates one package at the time and see what is causing it, then file the bugzilla against that package.
