Firefox not opening

I tried firefox on wine-1.1.38 (Gentoo) and I got the following error when opening firefox.
Do someone have any suggestions to make this work?

Code: Select all

fernando@localhost ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox $ wine firefox.exe

Do you happen to have Office 2007 installed in the same wineprefix? Because the override for usp10.dll recommended for Word 2007 should not be set globally unless Office is installed to its own wineprefix. Non-Office apps won't be able to find the usp10.dll that Office installs, resulting in an error like the one above.

I have OFFICE 2007 installed.
How can I create another prefix to install firefox, without needing to delete my current prefix?

export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine_firefox

before you install it. Write a simple script for each app:

================run_ff start====================
#!/bin/bash
#
export WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.wine_firefox
cd $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/path_to_installation_directory
wine firefox.exe
=================run_ff end=====================

and set up a launcher to run the script when you click it.

Creating a new wineprefix just for Firefox isn't really necessary. You could remove the global override and set individual overrides for each Office app (Word is the only one that I know for certain needs it). Or you could leave the global override in place, but add an override for Firefox only setting usp10.dll back to (builtin, native). If Firefox is the only other app you have installed in that wineprefix, and you don't plan on installing any others, the latter is probably the easiest way to handle it.
