Title: Firefox 21 update
Post by: nanopoldi on July 01, 2013, 06:41:44 AM

After updating Firefox.tcz from version 19 to 21 i can't start firefox via the terminal by simple typ "firefox" in it. As a result of this behavior i can't start firefox automatically via script when booting.
How can i resolve this problem?

I suppose you could run something like this:

Code: [Select]

tce-load -il firefox
/usr/local/bin/firefox

I can start firefox 21 via the GUI. This is not the problem. Firefox is also in the onboot list. But the attempt to start it with the terminal results into:

tce-load -il firefox
--> firefox is already installed

and

/usr/local/bin/firefox
--> sh: usr/local/bin/firefox: firefox not found

This behavior appeared after the update from 19 to 21 via the apps tool. With firefox 19 i had not this issue.

In my case (TC fully up-to-date, FF21), /usr/local/bin/firefox just launches firefox… Are you sure you did not forget the initial slash? Else I would say something is broken on your system…

This is obviously not true. You show the command has a leading slash yet the error states you don't. You should use
copy/paste when posting this type of stuff. To copy from a terminal, drag the mouse over the text while holding the left
mouse button. To paste, click the middle button. What happens if you enter:
