(or, バグつぶし, as the locals would say*)

I have been using the beta releases of Firefox 3.0 for quite some time now, and have become very reliant on some of its new features. Beta 4, however, presented an interesting challenge: it refuses to start.

After failing miserably to locate the cause of the problem on Google, one lead finally lead me to a Japanese blog on Linux mentioning a problem with newer Firefox trunk builds having issues with uim. It was just a matter of another two hops through a Japanese Mozilla bug tracker to locate an upstream fix in uim.

An upgrade to uim-1.4.2 later, the Fox is up and jumping over lazy canines once again.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some One Piece to re-read.

*I have no idea if anyone actually says this.
