Full Discussion: Browser on AIX 7.1
Operating Systems AIX Browser on AIX 7.1 Post 302990204 by blentz on Monday 23rd of January 2017 04:48:03 PM

Where did you get the file sets for Firefox? They should be on the AIX Expansion pack DVD. Those symbol errors are usually what you get when the binaries are compiled on a later version of AIX.

In other words, the Firefox you've installed are from 7.1 TL4 and you're running 7.1 TL2.

Can you provide the output of

oslevel -s
lslpp -l | grep -i Firefox

If you have installed Firefox from another source, I would recommend considering the version supplied on the AIX expansion DVD instead. Compiling from source will not be for beginners and third party rpms or installp packages can be hit-or-miss
