After doing an upgrade from natty to oneirc, firefox+thunderbird have issues crashing on start, display random asian characters, and generally aren't happy.
Things tried:
1. upgrading to firefox-next, thunderbird-next (nope)
2. moving the old profile dirs and starting with blank (nope)
4. running env -i and then starting ff/tb from that shell (nope)
5. ran locale-gen / etc
6. removed any exotic ttf packages i found (long shot, and nope)
7. searching the internets (nope)
What does work
Trying a firefox 3 binary build from mozilla.org (this works)
Chrome from google's repo
I've downgraded back to oneiric versions of both, and tried all test cases (moved .moz* etc, started clean, cleaned env).
Attached is a screen of the fail. Notice the small issues with the decorations on the tab and in the navbar as well.
