That definitely sounds strange. I’m not certain what would be causing your issue. I will say that at the time this post was written, Ubuntu shipped with FF3 Beta 5. Of course FF3 is now stable and out of Beta. As a matter of fact I would go so far as to say that these steps should not be used as Aptana now works without issue with FF3.

when i run the following command
sudo firefox-2 -ProfileManager
My browser opens the website profilemanager.com in a new tab instead of opening Profile Manager. What should i do ? Could somebody help?

Oh man… this post is worth nothing.

1. it didnt work with aptana.
2. you wrecked with these commands my nice ff 3!

When i want to start my ff 3 the “another ff process is already running.”

I uninstalled ff 2 again, deleted the created profile etc.

You ought help me.

Hi,

It worked when I changed the shell script where I had used iceape instead of firefox

Thanks!

Just to clarify, are you on a 32 or 64 bit machine?

Hey,

thanks for the great post. However, after following all the steps I still get the same message on aptana startpage:
embedded browser not available.

I’ve tried removing all firefox packages and installing them again. A java -version on terminal gives me:
java version “1.6.0_06″
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_06-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 10.0-b22, mixed mode, sharing)

Any advise?
Thanks in advance!

r0b,

I found a resolution to this issue… Seems as if you will have to result to installing a 32 bit version of Java… here is the link.. it worked for me just fine. Ubuntu has a great community.

R0b,

I too am running the 64 bit Hardy and experiencing the same issue as you are during lauch of APTAN. Has anyone identified a fix for this yet?

Have FF3 and Hardy 64 and cant get sun-java6-plugin….

“sun-java6-jre is already the newest version.
Package sun-java6-plugin is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source”

……..have all repositories enabled….get this error on launch:

!STACK 1
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /usr/local/aptana/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/98/1/.cp/libswt-pi-gtk-3236.so: /usr/local/aptana/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/98/1/.cp/libswt-pi-gtk-3236.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32 (Possible cause: architecture word width mismatch)
