What is the exact name?Precise Puppy 64 Bit
Enter firefox in a console/terminal and press enter key.
Any error messages?
If Yes.
What?
The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

In precise there is a dbus problem with latest firefox:
Libraries too old?
LATER: installing libdbus from tahr firefox starts.
https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/i386 ... 3/download
Code: Select all
# firefox
firefox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/firefox/libxul.so: undefined symbol: dbus_validate_bus_name

Will it work with the versions of dbus/libdbus that currently pop up in PPM?

At this rate, if I ever do decide to try updating beyond 60.0.2 again, I'll have to convince myself to try compiling dbus again. Someday, maybe.
(I did grab the .deb you linked to, watchdog. I only mentioned compiling under the theory that if I bothered to compile the latest version of dbus, maybe I wouldn't have to worry about situations like this for a while. I'm sure Mozilla would find some way around that, though, just to spite me.)

watchdog: I tried the .deb, but tried opening FF 60.0.2 to see if it worked before upgrading. All it seemed to do was slow FF to a bare crawl and cause it to become unresponsive, so I uninstalled the .deb (and ended up having to restart the system as well).

In another thread OscarTalks said that he used libdbus from wheezy in slacko 5.7 to run firefox 61.0.1.

It's worth a try. Firefox is not my main browser so I'm not going to test anymore.
