firefox segfault
 
firefox segfaults ALL THE TIME as a user, but doesn't seem to as root. strace gives me this:

i have reinstalled, i have upgraded. firefox 2.0, but it did it with 1.5 as well. i compared the startup strace for my user account and for root, and they are identical (until it crashes as user) the .firefox/init.d/ and .mozilla/firefox/init.d do not exist anywhere... any thoughts?

rm -rf /home/dtg/.mozilla

?

Sorry for the bump, but I am also having this problem. I am running slackware 10.2 and I'll just be loading any page when my firefox just goes away. It's freaking frustrating. I'm using firefox 2.0 and this is the error I get in the terminal:

/usr/lib/firefox/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 31774 Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

I really want this fixed, could anyone please help. I've seen several other threads about this but no one seems to have found a satisfactory solution which is discouraging. Problem started right after I did a slapt-get --upgrade and then installed Freerock gnome. removed Freerock as I didn't much like it anyway. I know it's not related to flash or javascript, as it happens when none of these things are running. Someone please help, thank you.
