[csw-users] Now a Problem Using FireFox

Good morning,
 
I cannot find that log file.  I tried using the following commands without any success:
 
  find . -name ".log" -print
  find . -name "log" -print
  find . -name "firefox" -print
  find / -name "firefox.log" -print
 
I used su and I executed the command from the top of the file system.  The first command had no results.  The second command listed out a bunch of lines with the word "log" as the last entry, but none of these prefixed with "firefox."  The third command listed out a small number of entries with the last word being "firefox."  The fourth command produced nothing.
 
I hope the output below will help.  I doubt routing the output to a text file will pick-up any additional insights.
 
I did try to find some information on the Internet for the first line.  One web page had something about a missing dot desktop file.  I followed the instructions to create a firfox.desktop file.  No changes.
 
What should I be attempting?
 
Thank you,
 
Fred

Good evening Maciej and group,
 
I searched on line in order to learn what is a truss command.  I have not found the answer yet, but I did find an example of someone using that command.  I followed it and here is the result:
 
$ truss -fo /tmp/firefox.log firefox

 I hope the foregoing is useful to you.
 
Thank you,

Hi Fred,

Please attach the output of /tmp/firefox.log that truss generated, as it's got the output from truss in it and is necessary to help with the debugging.
