Linux Mint FIrefox hanging up repeatedly for seconds weird Google search page
Linux Mint FIrefox hanging up repeatedly for seconds weird Google search page
Im using Linux Mint Lisa (12) with GNOME 3 for a couple of months now. Im impressed with the huge user support community and nice interface with the ease of using the same knowledge I had from Ubuntu. Recently the Firefox installation got somehow crapped up. It showed weird search results.
Moreover, the pages would repeatedly hang up. They would get updated (downloaded) but wont change until there was some cursor movement. It was real irritating. Thanks to "remoulder" from Linux Mint Forums, I found a nice method for repairing these things.
Close down Firefox > Press Alt + F2 > type "firefox -profilemanager" without the quotes
Youll see a default profile there. That profile is corrupted. Just create a new one using the options and start with the new one. All fixed.
