firefox won't open and displays error "/usr/lib64/firefox/firefox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so: undefined symbol : gdk_window_get_visual
Updated Firefox to 31.2 on RHEL6 - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.0 (Santiago): [RHEL6-1 ~]$ rpm -qa firefox xulrunner nspr firefox-31.2.0-3.el6_6.x86_64 nspr-4.10.6-1.el6_5.x86_64 xulrunner-17.0.10-1.el6_4.x86_64
But when trying to launch firefox the following error is displayed: [RHEL6-1 ~]$ firefox /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/firefox/libxul.so: undefined symbol: gdk_window_get_visual
I've tried removing and installing and always seem to get this error.
Any help is much appreciated!

I have the exact same problem. Help Please
Does this also happen if you install the 32 bit Firefox version?
You can find the full version of the current Firefox 31.2.0 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
Same problem under EL 6.5 32-bit version of the OS.
OS: Oracle Linux release 6.5 (Santiago) Installed: nspr-4.10.6-1.el6_5.i686 Installed: xulrunner-17.0.10-1.0.1.el6_4.i686 Installed: firefox-31.2.0-3.0.1.el6_6.i686
Had to revert back to firefox-31.1.0-5.0.1.el6_5.i686
Cor-el was referring to the builds from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all/ and not the package builds from RH.
Yes, thank you. firefox from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/all works fine.
RedHat provided firefox works if you update GTK2
Run:
# yum update gtk2*
