firfox segfaults on 14.2
by vesperto from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5CBJC)
That's basically it.
I've just installed 14.2 on my laptop, ran an upgrade then Code:slackpkg install firefox, it fetches the main package (45.2) and the patch package, done. But then every time i run firefox, be it via a terminal in XFCE or menu, either regular user or root, it won't launch. If via terminal, i get "Segmentation fault" and that's it.
I assume there are several missing libraries, but i can't find a way of telling which ones. Most other packages crash when loading libraries and specifically tell you, so i go and fetch them.
Which kinda makes me wonder if it is indeed a missing library.
Any suggestions appreciated. Alternatively, is there a chromium-bin somewhere?
