Firefox 3.5 segmentation fault

[ggtsu]

I just tried installing firefox 3.5 (apt-get install firefox-3.5), but whenever I try starting it, I get a segmentation fault. I tried removing the package and then tried these instructions, but no dice. Any ideas?

This appears to be caused (at least on Jaunty 64bit) by the GNOME global menu applet that enables a unified menu bar on top of the screen (like Mac OS X).

If you remove it from the panel Firefox 3.5 should launch normally.

Gah!!

Way to point out the obvious. Holy hell I have been combing for some time. As if it was that little thing.

disabled it, works great, flash and everything!

Thanks!

Just bumping to give this thread some attention. This issue needs to be looked at. I'ma submit a firefox bug report. I know there's already a globalmenu bug report.

Is there a solution for this yet?

Seems to suggest removing any packages still using xulrunner-1.8, I have no idea what packages these would be under Ubuntu 9.04.

Thats unfortunate - what are the details of your system:

Ubuntu Version
Kernel etc
64bit / 32 Bit
Firefox

Mine are
Karmic 64bit
2.6.31-11-generic
Firefox 3.5.3

[LavianoTS386]

I have this same problem in Karmic

[Dellfan]

sigh... does not resolve for me either.

System info:

Upgraded from 9.04 (64 Bit) to 9.10 RC

Uname: 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:05:01 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Firefox: 3.5.3
Globalmenu: 0.7.7-0~stas3

Was at 0.7.5-0ubuntu1~ppa1 before I tried Stas's personal build. Get exactly the same error on both... instant segfault on starting Firefox or Fennec. Disabling globalmenu resolves the issue.
