Starting today, every time I open up the eclipse, I got a message box with title "Problem Occured" pops up saying:

No more handles [Unknown Mozilla path (MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME not set)] possible args: {0}, {1}, {2}, {3} No more handles [Unknown Mozilla path (MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME not set)]

Then I click "OK" and proceed to the workbench, I got another error saying

An SWT error has occurred. You are recommended to exit the workbench. Subsequent errors may happen and exit the workbench without warning. See the .log file for more details.

Do you want to exit the workbench? (Yes / No)

Then I clicked "Yes" and took a look at the .log file in .metadata. I saw this long stacktrace:

I did hours of Google searching, seeing all different solutions, but they are either too complicated for me to figure out see this, or not work at all.

I tried the following:

  1. edit /etc/environment and add MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/firefox, no effect
  2. edit eclipse.desktop and change Exec=/usr/bin/eclipse/eclipse to Exec=env MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/lib/firefox /usr/bin/eclipse/eclipse this time the eclipse will freeze at the start-up.
  3. download a XULRunner-1.9.2.19 from here and set the MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME env variable point to directory where I extract it. I got a new error:

Could anyone please help me figure out how to solve this problem. Thanks.

This just worked for me:

    sudo apt-get install libwebkitgtk-1.0-0

Relaunch Eclipse. No other downloads or changes were required.
