I'm assuming this is the right thread to post this in :eek:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/21762292/mybb-firefox.png

This is what I'm getting in Firefox when browsing MyBB.

When I use reKonq it works as it should.

Anyone have a fix perhaps? Google is not being of much help, and I don't feel like using reKonq simply for MyBB.

Do you have a custom style-sheet / css for Mybb ?

Does it do the same thing when using the other MyBB vbulletin wide / dark etc thingies ?

EDIT:

Or add ;

div.message { color:black !important; }

to a mybb style-sheet with the Stylish add-on.

Hmm... nevermind having a stylesheet.... I don't even have text in those quotes.

In the one above this post, all I can see is this:

Probably not. Screenshots can only do so much.

This is on Kubuntu 11.10.

It seems as if a whole chunk of code is being snipped... maybe related to an add-on ?

Is there a portable Firefox for Kubuntu ? Maybe run without add-ons and see ?

Kubuntu is alien to me... would not know where to start.

Jammer mineer... ;{

EDIT: You could do a complicated Wine install of Waterfox or Pale Moon and see if it is replicated... I am out of my depth here... good luck!

Cool man, thanks though.

Disabled all my addons (only one closely related would be adblock) and still happens- This is a brand new install though.

froot I've experienced this before and if I remember correctly I installed a later version from the PPAs. Delete you current FF config folder first though /home/username/.mozilla

Try deleting your cache & cookies first though and try again.

To get the latest stable version of firefox simply check synaptic and upgrade it or just reinstall it. (Latest version is 11.10.1)

For Beta versions see https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-next
For Daily builds see https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa

I will try reinstalling Firefox.

I copied my appdata/mozilla profile from Windows to Linux, which is what Mozilla recommends for a "transfer profile" thing, so I deleted that and with a blank Firefox profile it still happens.

No problem here - Kubuntu 11.10 (installed end of Feb) and FF 11.0 (updated yesterday directly from Mozilla).

myBB's implementation of VB does do weird things on both my phone (Android 2.1 and Tapatalk) and my netbook (Debian Squeeze and FF since 3.xx), so it doesn't surprise me that it can be broken on other hardware too.

Its the same on Web Africa's forums (alsi vb) hey, but fine on other forum sw.

Will see what I can do to fix it... It's very annoying.

Mozilla use to have a PPA for their stable builds but that was scrapped and incorporated directly into the Ubuntu repos due to the frequent updates & possible security issues so fortunately these days you just have to install the new version from the repos. I'm still on version 9 :eek: but I rarely use it though.

Right.... so I did a complete firefox uninstall, deleted the .mozilla folder (backup of course), restarted, reinstalled..... still the same.
So for now I will use rekonq for MyBB :/

I see the repos are up-to-date, updated my missus's PC this morning and FF is on 11.0 from the repo (no problems that froot is having there either - Kubuntu 10.04).

On my own PC, I've always just run sudo ./firefox in /opt/firefox (where I originally put it from the tarball) and update from Help>About. On Kubuntu/Ubuntu I have to chown a couple of files after upgrading; Debian Squeeze doesn't use my home directory when running sudo; and sudo is broken in Debian Wheezy/Sid.

I'm quickly grabbing the tar.gz one from getfirefox.com (mirror @ mozilla.mirror.ac.za). Hopefully this does it, else I'll try FF10.

:eek:

How do I go about running this again? Been away from Linux too long.
I've got the firefox executable and a run-mozilla.sh file.
Using sudo ./firefox doesn't work and trying to bash the .sh results in
Code: 
run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute
.

Remember to chmod the two batch files to 751 (firefox and run-mozilla.sh).
Code: 
chmod 751 firefox

Still nothing. I checked the properties and they are marked as executable.

Firefox: "firefox: firefox: cannot execute binary file"
run-mozilla.sh: "run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute ."

What graphics card are you using? I have problems with the news section, but only with Ubuntu using AMD cards - same setup works fine with Intel GPU & AMD card works fine with Windoze with same version of Firefox!!

I see firefox is no longer a script, but rather a binary. Have you tried running from the command line to see what's broken?

According to the script, run-mozilla.sh, the error you're getting should occur if firefox-bin is not executable.
