Hi guys,
For some reason firefox will no longer launch. Every time I run firefox it instantly returns "Segmentation fault"
I tried creating a new profile and running it in safe mode, but nothing consistently works, i.e. firefox may launch sometimes but most times the same thing will happen, only "Segmentation fault"
I tried doing firefox --debug to see if I can tell what may be causing firefox to crash instantaneously, but I only get the following output:
/usr/bin/gdb /usr/lib/firefox-3.5.5/firefox -x /tmp/mozargs.hLgdbQ

Do you guys have any advice on how I can figure out what's going on with Firefox?
