Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

This problem appears after an upgrade to karmic.

On the server machine, there is no problem. But when connected on the server through NoMachine's NX (thus under a full X session), the bug occurs.

When clicking on the menu or on a panel icon, firefox will not appear, even if a process starts. But when starting it from a terminal, it works (and complains about some extensions missing, see the logfile).

NX versions:
* nxserver 3.3.0-22
* nxnode 3.3.0-17
* nxclient 3.3.0-6
