Software - Problem with HTML Validator ext in Firefox

Titel: Problem with HTML Validator ext in Firefox
A Firefox extension that I use, HTML Validator has recently ceased to work. FF won't open normally unless I disable HTML Validator. I was directed to a page that suggested that various linux distros might have a problem with certain libraries, and suggested that I navigate to the dir below and run the command "ldd libnstidy.so". The results follow.

rp@knx:~/.mozilla/firefox/evc3to3e.default/extensions/{3b56bcc7-54e5-44a2-9b44-66c3ef58c13e}/components$ ldd libnstidy.so
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000)
li bplds4.so=> /usr/lib/libplds4.so (0xb7f5b000)
libplc4.so => /usr/lib/libplc4.so (0xb7f56000)
libnspr4.so => /usr/lib/libnspr4.so (0xb7f23000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7ef9000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/libdl.so.2 (0xb7ef5000)
libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0xb7e3b000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0xb7e14000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb7e09000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7cd1000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

It was suggested that 3 libraries would not be found since they were internal to FF (li bplds4.so, libplc4.so, and libnspr4.so). However on my up to date Kanotix system, these libs were found. I'm not sure what this means.

Has anybody else had this problem with HTML Validator? If so, any ideas about a fix?

I might add, that FF seems generally buggy after adding or changing extensions. I usually have to start it from the console and then I get "segmentation fault" errors once or twice before it finally starts. By nature, I don't like to use more than a couple of extensions, but I'm taking an HTML class and need to run 9-10 of them to make FF on my kanotix box similar to the PC's in class. Can anyone shed light on that issue as well?

Thanks,
Ron

Have you tried

<apt-get remove --purge firefox>

and start from scratch, I don't use this extension, but installed it and it works fine for me

"segmentation fault" is telling you something is not right Winken save your bookmarks but start over again (profiles)

Hi Piper,
Yea, I was taken to that web page too. Previously the extension worked fine. Based on what I read there, it could be something like duplicate libraries or conflicting libraries. Though it's a useful extension, I'll probably just disable it for now and try later when it gets updated. Your suggestion of purging FF and reinstalling seem like a good idea, though.

Thanks,
Ron

feffer, just use the webdeveloper toolbar's html validator, it just sends you to the w3c pages anyway. it works fine.

Hi feffer777,

same problem here:
Code:
ldd libnstidy.so
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libplds4.so => /usr/lib/libplds4.so (0xb7eb3000)
        libplc4.so => /usr/lib/libplc4.so (0xb7eae000)
        libnspr4.so => /usr/lib/libnspr4.so (0xb7e7b000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0xb7e69000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/libdl.so.2 (0xb7e65000)

        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)

I've tested tidy_firefox_linux_0794.xpi and tidy_firefox_linux_083.xpi without success. Do you found a solution?
