John,
I had what may have been the same issue. Mozilla crashed like crazy for
a new user, but was just fine for established users. What is really
strange is that it "slowly" stabilized for the new user.
What I did was:
Remove the .mozilla directory for the new user to start fresh.
Log into an established user account, startx, start mozilla.
Open a terminal, sux - to new user (if you don't have sux installed,
"xhost +" first, but do yourself a favor and install sux) type mozilla
as new user.
It worked!
After this it worked a little better direct from the new user account,
but still crashed. I repeated the above, except removing the .mozilla
directory. After this it worked pretty much stable, (not sure, I may
have gone through the above steps once more, again except for removing
the .mozilla directory.)
I'd love to file a bug report on this, but I have no idea where the
problem is.
I hope this works alright for you.
Paul
