firefox 3 hangs

[Guest]

i just installed 8.04 and kde4. the only problem i see now is a HUGE one for me and thats the fact firefox hangs. when i launch it, it takes about 2 minutes for it to come up, then any time i click on something, a menu item, a tab, whatever, it hangs for about 1 to 2 minutes and then responds, but it does this for each action and click. ive tried uninstalling all the extensions and that didn't work. when i bring up the error console i have the following errors in it,

failed to load XPCOM component: /usr/lib/xulrunner-
1.9b5/components/libpyloader.so

failed to load XPCOM component /usr/lib/xulrunner-
1.9b5/components/pyabout.py

any ideas?

Re: firefox 3 hangs

What do you get when you run:

ls /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9b5/components | grep py

It should look like this:

~$ ls /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9b5/components | grep py
libpyloader.so
pyabout.py

Try reinstalling FF3 along with its and xulrunner's dev files:

sudo aptitude install firefox-3.0-dev xulrunner-1.9-dev
