[ubuntu] firefox-3.5 segmentation fault (core dumped)

[manuelb]

Just to add some more information, i found out that the version of xulrunner being installed during Jaunty alpha days was 1.8.1 and that obviously lead to segaulting apps if linked against more recent version of it, such as 1.9.
So, uninstalling 1.8.1 and installing 1.9 should let Firefox 3.5b4+ as well as other apps such as Miro 2.0.4+ work the way they are supposed to without manually calling the xulrunner1.9.1beta binary.
Please help spread this information since i read other threads where xulrunner-based apps keeps crashing, that could resolve these issues as well.

I am having the same problem, and somehow only root user is able to launch firefox-3.5. If I attempt to launch firefox not as a root user, then I get segfault....?!
