Firefox Core Bus Error

Hi, today my system was updating using GNOME-software during the start, but the power went out, when I finally updated it manually using root account, firefox didn't open so I take a look at the console to see if it throws out any error messages. It says 'Error del bus (`core' generado)' which transalated could be something like ('core') Bus error generated (When I search it it appears 'Core Dumped'), I've looked for solutions but it only says "erase ~/.mozilla and ~/.mozilla-backup and let firefox generate them again, however it stills throws out the error, even when using firefox safe-mode

Updated using "GNOME-software"? That can't be an Arch Linux box then? Are you running some kind of Arch derivative?

Re: Firefox Core Bus Error

neither pacman nor ext4 (or most other posix filesystems) can guarantie transaction like consitency on updates to the whole filesystem.
which means, you can have very inconsitent state on your filesystem (incompatible libraries, missing files, old files etc).

run `pacman -Qkk` to check the consistency of all the packages (that it has recorded in /var/lib/pacman - but same inconsitency applies to /var too) and reinstall those that have problems, or just reinstall all that should've been upgraded when the electricity failed.

Nope, I installed Arch myself following the official guides, and then installed the whole GNOME group

Ok, so I've tried that, but when I see the outputs the most signigicative inconsistency  I find is that modification dates are incorrect, but at least Firefox has no inconsistencies. I've tried to reinstall it with "pacman -Rscn firefox" and reinstalling it but it didn't work, too
