I don't think so.

I see nothing strange in those outputs.
Which add-ons do you have installed?. Are all them
compatible with
current Firefox version?. All up to date?
The only add-on is addblock-plus
Since I erased firefox and re-installed it, I am not sure it is still there. Since I
can't run firefox, I am not real sure. I looked up the extensions in the profiles in
~/.mozilla and all I see is addblock
Maybe something got corrupted when you updated firefox and
xulrunner?.
What's the output of following commands?:
$ package-cleanup --problems
$ package-cleanup --orphans
$ package-cleanup --leaves
output attached- problems said "no problems found"
I would like to avoid removing and installing again firefox
and
xulrunner, but maybe as last option it would work :-?
I have tried R&I firefox with no success. I will try xulrunner
When I removed xulrunner, Yum removed firefox again so i have to go reinstall it.
Regards,
David
