Firefox keeps segfaulting.

This is the error:
(firefox-bin:3638): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_handler_disconnect: assertion `G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed
/usr/lib/firefox-3.5.5/run-mozilla.sh: line 131:  3638 Segmentation fault      "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

Help?

Re: Firefox keeps segfaulting.

have you tried to add a new user and running ff?

i had the same problem, with a new user everything worked as it should. i suppose we have messed up something in our  ~/.mozilla/firefox/. try to backup the folder and delete it, then cp the settings-files you need back to where they belong. of course, this isn't a very elegant way...

d.s.

No good. Made a new user. Worked for a bit. And then segfaulted.
