Hi,
I just downloaded firefox from mozilla.org for OS/2 and after unzipping it I tried running: firefox.exe

But get the following in my POPUPLOG.OS2:

11-11-2004 13:34:59 SYS3175 PID 0842 TID 0001 Slot 011a

The most likely problem is that it is picking up the wron XPCOM.DLL. Either:

  • You have Mozilla or IBM Web Browser in your LIBPATH
  • You unzipped the new version over the existing version and something didn't get replaced properly.

    Turns out that if I have Mozilla running, firefox would crash with the above error. Once I exit mozilla, firefox runs without a hitch. I tried using set beginlibpath so that it points to the correct xpcom.dll, but it still crashed firefox with mozilla running. I guess firefox uses xpcom.dll in memory that was loaded by mozilla.

    Yep, the tips at the url is the key. Unfortunately, firefox seems to be really slow for me compared to mozilla. Is there anything I can do to speed things up?

    Wouldn't that be a bit odd? I mean and correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't the same code base used?
