I installed the new firefox 1.5.0.5 packages and had a few issues. I had
read a similar post on the nahant list. I would doubt that this is a

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.
Make sure to run firefox as root once (I usually do that first, after
the upgrade).
See if that helps ...
I tried running firefox as root once, and then again with my user and my
test user. Both still exhibit the same problem.
