hi all,
i installed mozilla-firefox (1.0.4-2sarge2) with aptitude, as recommended by the security list, and now when i try to launch firefox it causes a Segmentation fault.
i am running sarge with the stock (straight from apt) 2.6 k7 kernel.
i tried reinstalling the package to no avail.
here is the last few lines of 'strace /usr/bin/mozilla-firefox' though i'm not sure if its all relevant.
open("/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/extensions/{972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd}/chrome/classic.jar", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 19

any help on this is greatly appreciated.
