I installed the new firefox 1.5.0.5 packages and had a few issues.  I had

If you upgraded directly from 1.0.8 to to 1.5.0.5, you probably need
to reinstall all of your extensions.  I recommend (1) write down what
all of them are, (2) uninstall them all from your present firefox
1.0.8, (3) upgrade to 1.5.0.5, and finally (4) install extensions
again.

Even upgrading from 1.5.0.2 (centosplus) to 1.5.0.5, I'd recommend
reinstalling extensions.  In my experience firefox always crashes on
the first -- and sometimes also second and third -- launches after an
upgrade when there are any extensions present.


No problema here upgrading from 1.5.0.2 to 1.5.0.5. No crashes, extensions
working fine and all else.

I have created a new user on my system, which of course will build a new firefox profile, with no extensions. I have also moved the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins directory to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.old and I have opened the browser with no themes, extensions, or plugins. Attempts to access the extensions manager or multiple Horde webmail systems cause the browser to crash.

I have launched firefox with strace and cleared the screen before trying to access the extensions menu.

Here is the result:

I am not able to determine the cause based on this output, but someone else might be able to. I have no problem accessing the extensions manager in firefox 1.0.8.
