After upgrading to 3.6.4 plugin-container can no longer find library
I just accepted the automatic upgrade to Firefox-3.6.4 and the new version hangs at some point. Previous versions worked fine. I did not change library locations recently. This is when Firefox starts and loads saved tabs.
Now I started without preloading tabs, Firefox did not hang yet. Firefox will hang when quit and save the tabs, I guess. It did that the last time I tried.
I run Slackware but I installed gnome2 on /opt/gnome2. This has not been a problem in the past since LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes all needed library paths.

I have the same problem
You might have a locked or damage Places.sqlite (i.e. the file that stores history and bookmarks).
Try taking a look at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite.
I have same problem , and clean up places.sqlite doesn't help. Any other thought. I am still using 3.6.3 which doesn't have this problem.
a workaround works for me:
Sorry, please add '&' between 3 and t for the link.
Hi,
I solved the problem by adding the following two lines in file "/etc/ld.so.conf".
/opt/gnome2/lib /opt/gcc/lib
I used to pass the same information through shell variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but the script that starts firefox was changed somewhat and it started overwrite LD_LIBRARY_PATH instead of just adding to this. I can only speculate as to why that change was made.
Anyway, I no longer have the problem.
Thank's everyone for the insights.
