I think this has to do with SSH meta key mappings. Check out this article here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12190349/alt-key-not-working-in-emacs-sshing-x11

Joe, you rock. For real.

I was trying to set a Selenium headless server for 4 days, almost giving up. Thx, dude. I owe you a beer.

Got linux firefox window to show up on Mountain Lion (XQuartz) Display. Everything looks great, but it does not take mouse or key board inputs, any ideas what are missing? Thanks.

First of all, make sure you are on a 64-bit machine. These instructions are for 64-bit only. That aside if you are 64-bit, try rerunning the script and looking for compilation errors.

Do you install the firefox on non-gui machine? Sorry, I haven’t told you that I need to install firefox on non-gui machine in purpose to run selenium headless

Hi joe,

Thanks for reply. You are correct. I need to install dbus-glib. But, after that it shows another “lib” error. I tried to install pango-devel to solve libpangoft. It shows libgtk error then. Anyway, I use Amazon Linux AMI which means I use Redhat 4.4.

Normally that dependency is taken care of by dbus-glib. Can you confirm it is installed? Try an “apt-get install dbus-glib” to fix the issue.

Hi joekiller,

Thank you for your post. I have followed step to install firefox on AWS EC2 Linux AMI. The installation is success. But, I get this error when I want to run

XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/local/firefox/libxpcom.so:
libdbus-glib-1.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Couldn’t load XPCOM.

What should I do?

Thank you

Bin,

By default the .mozilla folder should end up in the user’s home directory that is running firefox. Try looking at your home directory with the command “ls -alt ~”.

You can also specify a profile location by running “firefox -profile ” where profile path is a directory that you want the profile to be stored in such as ~/mozilla-profile.

Finally you can also run the profile manager with “firefox -p”. If that doesn’t work or it crashes, try “firefox -p -safe-mode”.
