Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

After upgrading from Karmic 09.10 to Lucid 10.04 I have a strange bug:
after starting firefox for the first time of my session, some buttons are no longer running :
- in Evolution, the "+" used for developping ordered directories
- in Nautilus, on the toolbar, the naviguation buttons and zoom does not run any more
- in synaptic, the "apply" button does run. I have to go through menus to run the appropriate action
- in most of windows with horizontal and/or vertical lifts, these lifts does not work.

For each new session, before my first run of Firefox I do not have the problem.

Sounds like you might have just had a bad update experience. Ipersonally never upgrade the releases, I always do a clean install after doing a system backup using Clonezilla. Keeping /home on a seperate partition is also nice because you can do clean installs and still keep all application settings and user created files.

You were right. Despite I did not have problem during update from 9.19 to 10.04, I made a new install (not an upgrade), keeping my /home on separate partition, and problem is solved, everything working perfectly (and so fast !)

Since you did a fresh install, we do not know for sure what fixed this bug, so I am marking Invalid instead of Fix Released in order to reflect that. Please continue to report any other bugs that you encounter!
