Titel: Firefox segmentation fault
Whenever I create a new firefox profile it works the first time but the next time I run it I get a "segmentation fault" error. I've tried with new profiles 7 or 8 times. This is with or without extensions. The only thing I can think of that may have had any effect is flash or mplayer plug-ins but I can't do without them.

I do not know what a "segmentation fault" is but it may help to tell us where your profile(s) is/are being created. the default is your home directory. on what partition is your /home directory, and how is that partition formatted?

The whole kanotix installation is on one ext3 partition and the profile is the default /home/user/.mozilla
This happened after the kanotix install and also when firefox was updated during a dist-upgrade. I've also tried downloading firefox from mozilla and it's still the same.

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmentation_fault:
Zitat:
A segmentation fault occurs when a program attempts to access a memory location that it is not allowed to access, or attempts to access a memory location in a way that is not allowed (for example, attempting to write to a read-only location, or to overwrite part of the operating system).
check your permissions of /home/user/.mozilla - is [user] the owner? do you have read/write permission?
that's all I can think of. or, try creating a new user account and seeing whether the same problem occurs with the new account

Try deleting the mozilla folder in your home and restarting firefox. Maybe uninstall and reinstall using apt again as well.
I run firefox from apt, iceweasel, and a version of firefox from Mozilla all without problems.
