I have installed dwm as window manager and whenever I start firefox it crashes after a few seconds. When I use the gnome window manager everything works fine. Anyone has a hint for me what I can do?

What is the output in the terminal when you launch Firefox? Are there any error messages?

Thank you for your answer. In fact there was an error message which I missed. My bad.

Error message was "Attempting to load system libmoon". So I removed the libmoon package (which I do not need) from my system and everything works fine.

Problem solved! :) Thanks!

Why this problem does not occur when not using dwm (it is a different user, too) still confuses me...

Heh. Libraries can be crazy things.
