I did try do remove Firefox completely and download a new package, but no joy. So Firefox and ABP can coexist peacefully. So what now?Ĭould that 'Ad Block Plus' thing be the culprit? Maybe, but I have the same combination running fine on two other PCs, one of them the machine that had this problem some weeks back, and then cured itself mysteriously.

Trying to start Firefox from a terminal window I now get the same old Gtk message: failed to load module "Canberra-gtk-module" Segmentation fault. After the install completed, it attempted to restart Firefox. I was installing the Ad blocker plus extension to firefox. Everything seemed to run fine for a couple of days, but then something went wrong. I wiped Windws 7 of the HD and did a clean install. The software is a newly downloaded Maggeia 2, 64 bit. This time the PC is a new HP box with a lot more RAM and processing power. The problem showed up again, but this time on a new PC and with a new software download.

I am sure the Mageia 64 bit package is fine. 4 years ago, when the 64 bit machine was new, I was told that there were some small issues with the 64 bit Mandriva package, and that the 32 bit package would work just as well. I had 32 bit Mandriva 2009PP running on the 64 bit machine before, and it worked fine. my other machine is 32 bit, and I had a dvd with 32 bit software laying around. Not sure what, if anything, that has to do with the problem.Īs to why I put 32 bit software on a 64 bit machine, I had several reasons, not neccesarily good ones: Interestingly, when I run the same rpm command on my 32 bit macchine, where firefox runs fine, I get the ~]$ rpm -qa | grep ~]$ Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module"
