Unable to download PDF documents with FF 38.8

<< < (6/7) > >>

Sorry Dave, I didn't realise that the xqs files were missing.  I don't suppose that I can just transplant those files from another build of FF.

I am still unable to get FF45.9 running on my Ryzen test machine, I think I have installed every possible version of LIBC066.DLL that I can find and always get the same results (at least I used past experience and zipped up the usr directory so I could return to a known working state after each failed attempt - *@!*#* RPM should be taken out behind the wood shed and disposed of).

I can't help wondering how you manage to get such good results with your builds.  The only reason that I am trying to get the later builds of FF running is because your build of FF 17.0.11 will no longer load some of the sites I visit because of their switching over to https.

Dave Yeo:
Hi Ivan.
No, you can not usually use the xqs files from a different build. They basically contain debugging info such as addresses of functions.
The newest should be good enough. The problem probably is not libc.
BTW, you should be zipping up \etc and \var as well as \usr. I'd suggest reinstalling libc and libcx and also installing the dbg packages to make trp files more informative. Please use the ones from the exp repository for now. They should find there way to the release repository eventually.
Then please try this build, https://bitbucket.org/dryeo/mozilla-os2/downloads/firefox-45.9.0.en.US.os2.PhenomII.zip, it does have the xqs files. I was to lazy to fight to downgrade libcx here so it does need the ones in exp.
Dariusz, could you also test this build? If it works for you, then I'll delete the other build and eventually move all my other Firefox builds to this repository. At least Bitbucket doesn't bitch about our old browsers and isn't owned by MS.
Martin, perhaps the getting Firefox to run parts of this thread should be in their own thread?

Edit, testing on a new install, it is only libcx that needs installing from the exp repository, otherwise there will be a sys2070 in popuplog.

ivan:
Thanks for that Dave.

After a fight with rpm/yum to get it to actually download from the exp repository, still not certain if it did actually do anything but the anpm gui  no longer shows it as available, I did manage to get a much larger trp file, (attached) but no FF45.9 running.  Oh for the days when all the DLLs were supplied and if you needed to update one you just unlocked it and copied the new one in. 

Dave Yeo:
OK, this seems to say you have a bad plugin (npj2_j32.dll) if I'm reading it right.
Try moving G:\mozprofiles\plugins out of the way.

ivan:
Dave, as they say 'you are da man'.  I don't think I have looked in the plugins directory since I installed the Innotek flash plugin back in 2003.  With that removed FF45.9 starts but I still have to kill pocket and reader.

On startup there is a slight increase in speed, doesn't take quite as long before I can open the bookmarks, sites come up a little faster.  I will say more after I have had a poke around in 'about:config'.
