How To Fix Firefox Crash On Start After Upgrade To Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick

Posted in Linux by Karl on

I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 and found that Firefox was crashing every time I tried to start it. This is caused by the icedtea plugin. Removing the plugin package fixed the problem.

sudo apt-get remove icedtea6-plugin
