I also have the same problem, also after upgrading to 10.04 Lucid. I've tried
all manner of possibilities, including installing what would appear to be
necessary packages, changing MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME, etc. Some settings of
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME (including pointing to the appropriate xulrunner folder
under /usr/lib for Lucid) causes RSSOwl to crash when trying to open a feed.
I've had to drop RSSOwl and move to Liferea instead because this made it
impossible to read RSS feeds in RSSOwl.

@rafaelcastellar: Which OS are you using? Do you have the correct architecture
(32Bit RSSOwl for 32Bit Java on 32Bit OS or – 64Bit RSSOwl with 64Bit Java on
64Bit OS)? Which version of libhunspell do you have installed (ask your
package manager) ?

I don't know, but I shut my system down yeasterday and started right now. As I
saw your message, I started RSSOwl to confirm and here is: yes, it is 64 bit
and is working right!! I think the last steps you told me worked properly.

Hello everyone. Sorry to use OP thread but I have the same problem and I have done (at least I think I have) what is stated at the FAQ.
Here are the steps I did so far:
-Uninstalled anything that could have been previously installed about xulrunner (I think I had something like Xulrunner-17.0 installed) with the command:
sudo apt-get remove --purge xulrunner-17.0
-Downloaded and untar this file
rssowl-2.2.1.linux.x86_64.zip
into ~/Downloads/rssowl
-Then I have downloaded and untar this file
xulrunner-1.9.2.19.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2
into
/opt/xulrunner/1.9.2.19/xulrunner as suggested somehwere at xulrunner site:
After this all I still get the error that RSSOwl can't create the browser to read the feeds.

I used RSSOwl under Ubuntu 9.10, where it worked without problems. After
upgrading to 10.04 I get the error:
"RSSOwl was unable to create a browser for reading news. Please refer to the
FAQ for further help.
Click 'Ok' to open the FAQ now."
In the FAQ I found nothing which helps me.
I tried the advice, found in this thread, but it does not help.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/rssowl/forums/forum/296910/topic/3754772
I deleted ~/.rssowl2 and installed rssowl again, but the error persists.
Do you have any ideas, what is wrong?

@rafaelcastellar: Which OS are you using? Do you have the correct architecture

Hi Genodeftest!
OS = Fedora 17 64bit
RSSOwl 64 Bit, but I don't know the java and lihunspell version, How can I
check? (sorry, I'm not an expert user).
tks!!
Hi
With Fedora 17 64Bit you should have java 64Bit and libhunspell 1.3.* 64Bit
installed.
Can you confirm this?
for getting your Java version, type
to a terminal, it should give you something like
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (fedora-2.2.1.fc17.9-x86_64)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.0-b21, mixed mode)
this is my output, as you can see 64-Bit version
libhunspell version:
typing
gives some info on hunspell package(s), with one line
(should look similar on your machine)
If that is correct, do this to fix your problem:
Run
as root or with sudo, then start RSSOwl again and see if it worked.
Hi!!
Follows the answears:
Java Versio:
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (fedora-2.2.1.fc17.8-x86_64)

libhunspell version:
Nome : hunspell

Versão : 1.3.2
Lançamento : 4.fc17
Tamanho : 561 k
Repo : installed
Do repositório : koji-override-0
Sumário : A spell checker and morphological analyzer library

Run your last command and started RSSOwl, but the problem persists...
Tks for helping...
Ok, can you double-check that you have the 64Bit version of RSSOwl installed?
Or try to reinstall it from
http://www.rssowl.org/download
I don't know, but I shut my system down yeasterday and started right now. As I
saw your message, I started RSSOwl to confirm and here is: yes, it is 64 bit

Thanks for your feedback!
I also have the "Unable to create browser" problem. This is my contact with
Linux so I don't quite understand the FAQ. Can someone give me step-by-step
instructions?
I run LinuxMint 13 x64.
Thanks in advance :)
Hi
do you know how to open a terminal?
Ok, sorry, sure you know since you got your java version…
Try to run this in a terminal:
You will need to type your sudo password since this action requires to make a
link (with the command 'ln') in the folder where your LinuxMint stores all
libraries.
please note that this command is a one-liner (no line break inbetween). Just
copy&paste, then try to start RSSOwl again
