Ditto.

mozilla-firefox 1.0.2-3,

kernel 2.6.9-1-686.

2.6.3-1-k7


Steps to reproduce the bug

1) remove the firefox-directory

rm -rf .mozilla

Actually it does not matter whether you remove this directory or not.

Did not do.



2) start mozilla-firefox

mozilla-firefox

Already had it running.


3) enter www.greatandhra.com in the location bar

4) Go to the link titled 'home'

I experienced no problems.


After this firefox crashes and the errors on the console are

$mozilla-firefox
*** loading the extensions datasource
Extension System Warning: Failed to set up default extensions files probably because you do not have write privileges to this location. While you can run Firefox like this, it is recommended that you run it at least once with privileges that allow it to generate these initial files to improve start performance. Running from a disk image on MacOS X is not recommended.Extension System Warning: Failed to set up default extensions files probably because you do not have write privileges to this location.

Looks like you have an extension that isn't playing nice, trying to write in some place other than your home directory. It wants you to run Firefox once as root to write some default files, although it appears that this procedure is being initiated when you visit this site instead of when you first start FF; very odd behaviour.

What extensions do you have installed?
