Re: Firefox Segmentation fault

strace -o output firefox

It probably won't help much though.

Re: Firefox Segmentation fault

Hi,

I've had the same problem. I solved it with setting GTK style.
KDE Menu-> Settings -> System settings -> GTK Styles and Fonts -> [*] Use my KDE style in GTK applications

This is global setting. I would recommend to set it only for Firefox. OpenOffice.org doesn't work with this setting, e.g. menu options are not rendering correctly.

edit: Now, I've found out that also OpenOffice.org works with this. I just needed to change used GTK style.
