I upgraded from firefox3.6 to firefox4.0 and now it won't start even
after doing a: rm -rf ~/.mozilla (I saved my profile).
I set -x on the firefox shell script and this is the output:
$ firefox
+ moz_libdir=/usr/local/lib/firefox
+ found=0
+ progname=/usr/local/bin/firefox

I generally play my tracks of an album like so:
for track in $(cat trombone_shorty-backatown.m3u); do
mplayer $track
