Oh, OK....
So, you've established that other browsers don't have the problem. Yes?
Have you considered creating a new user and trying that way?
OK. Just to set the testing environment, I'm running:
[root@tlondon ~]# rpm -q firefox xulrunner
firefox-28.0-3.fc21.x86_64
package xulrunner is not installed
[root@tlondon ~]#
and
[root@tlondon ~]# uname -r
3.14.0-0.rc8.git1.1.fc21.x86_64
[root@tlondon ~]#
So a "debug" kernel, -28 firefox and no xulrunner.
I noticed journal spew for 3 shared objects:
Mar 30 07:44:26
tlondon.localhost.org firefox.desktop[2704]:
/usr/lib64/firefox/plugin-container: error while loading shared libraries:
libxul.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Mar 30 07:47:12
tlondon.localhost.org firefox.desktop[2704]:
/usr/lib64/firefox/plugin-container: error while loading shared libraries:
libmozalloc.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Mar 30 07:49:12
tlondon.localhost.org firefox.desktop[2858]:
/usr/lib64/firefox/plugin-container: error while loading shared libraries:
libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
On my system, versions of these files all reside in /usr/lib64/firefox/.
So, guessing somehow the dynamic load path was not set quite right
(especially after removing xulrunner?), I manually created symbolic links
for these in /usr/lib64:
[root@tlondon lib64]# ln -s /usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so
/usr/lib64/libxul.so
[root@tlondon lib64]#
[root@tlondon lib64]# ln -s /usr/lib64/firefox/libmozalloc.so
/usr/lib64/libmozalloc.so
[root@tlondon lib64]#
[root@tlondon lib64]# ln -s /usr/lib64/firefox/libmozjs.so
/usr/lib64/libmozjs.so
[root@tlondon lib64]#
[root@tlondon ~]# ls -lt /usr/lib64 | head -4
total 926628
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 30 Mar 30 07:51 libmozjs.so ->
/usr/lib64/firefox/libmozjs.so
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 33 Mar 30 07:49 libmozalloc.so ->
/usr/lib64/firefox/libmozalloc.so
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 28 Mar 30 07:46 libxul.so ->
/usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so
[root@tlondon ~]#
I no longer see the journal spew and firefox no longer seems to freeze on
pages with flash plugins (?).
YMMW...
