I'm having a similar problem on slackware64 current with multilib - my firefox won't start on the first fun with out --safe-mode, once I have started it using --safe-mode once it will then start ok without --safe-mode. Starting it from the command line doesn't give anything away it just fails! Anyone else have this problem?

Use the version that comes in "testing" "mozilla-firefox-4.0b6-x86_64-2 and see how it works ...
Please post here the result ...
thanks

Reason: I wrote the wrong location mozilla-firefox-4.0b6-x86_64-2
I tried using the beta4 version, it does start correctly, unfortunately it won't be sufficient for me as I require firebug for web development, I will struggle on with the current version, hopefully the latest updates to -current will have fixed something!

Here, the latest version of the current ( mozilla-firefox-3.6.11-x86_64-1 ) gives the same problem ... :-(
I came here today to see if anyone is having problems with Firefox and Slack and found this thread. What's been happening to me for that last couple of days is pretty much what you're describing. Firefox just keeps on crashing over and over and sometimes won't even start.I finally got it to start enough times to remove any plugins and addons and it seems to be working fine now, but I honestly think this is a fluke. Anyone have any idea why Firefox is crashing so frequently? I'm running Slackware 13.1 32-bit with the latest version of firefox.
I do use a number of extensions, yes. Currently having no troubles that I know of, with any of them.
I do not use "DownloadHelper", but I do have:
Adblock+
All-in-one Sidebar
Back to top
Beef Taco
Better Privacy
Cert Patrol
FEBE
FlashGot
FoxClocks
Ghostery
Image Zoom
Master Password timeout
NoScript
Perspectives
RefControl
ScreenGrab
SmoothWheel+
Tab Mix+
Tiny Menu
Toolbar Buttons
Vacuum Places Improved.
Please, could you install add-on "DownloadHelper" (for testing), because when I disable it, FF works correctly ... If I enable DownloadHelper, FF does not always start .......... ...
I use Slackware-current 64-bit multilib. Uses you slack-multilib?
I do not notice the problem with many users and that's bad, why then could be linked to my Slackware installation ....
thanks for the replies
many thanks :-)
