Firefox won't restart reappeared today...
The initial problem was a hang on scrolling down to the picture in
http://orbit.m6.net/Forum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=15835&p=8; I clicked
the close button and selected Force Quit.
I then found I couldn't start gnome-terminal, but could start
xfce4-terminal so did my testing there. A Bug Buddy window without any
details also appeared during the tests, which I ignored until I had
finished.
$ firefox
{nothing visible happened until I pressed Ctrl-C}
$ firefox -g
$firefox --debugger "strace -ofirefoxstrace"
{segfaulted, see next message for logs}
$ firefox -ProfileManager
{segfaulted without showing the profile selector}
$ firefox --debugger "valgrind -v --tool=memcheck --leak-check=full
--num-callers=40 --log-file=/home/palmer/firefoxvalgrind.log"
/usr/bin/firefox: line 161: 4591 Killed "$@"
{several 4 byte reads/writes overlapping the end of a buffer, see attached log}
$ ssh localhost DISPLAY=:0 firefox
ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused
{iptables -nvL (firewall stats) showed two packets out and two in per attempt,
both of which were being accepted}
After these tests, I reinstalled Firefox to find this didn't fix the
problem. Rebooting the system did fix it; I had to do this with Alt-
SysRq-euib as Quit->Shut Down didn't work.
