Package: mozilla-firefox
Version: 1.0.2-3
Severity: important

When trying to start Firefox on a fresh sarge with a
fresh user (empty homedir), I get this problem:
(Got the same when I tried stracing and launching firefox-bin
directly.)

Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: XDM authorization key matches an existing client!

(firefox-bin:7221): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

If I first start a normal Mozilla browser and close it
and then start firefox, the first step works, but I get
this error:

*** loading the extensions datasource
*** loading the extensions datasource
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox-bin: relocation error:
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox-bin: undefined symbol:
NS_NewUnionEnumerator

So my error messages seems to be close to this bug:
Debian Bug report logs - #292931
mozilla-firefox: Firefox can't start - relocation error

When I now start Firefox again, it works.
So the workaround is: Start normal Mozilla, end it and
start Firefox twice, then it works the second time.
Another quick and dirty fix is to take "xhost +", start
Firefox and then take "xhost -". From then on it works.

So this probably only applies to new/fresh users. My user
is a NIS user if that has anything relevance.

Yours,
Filip
