Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue
for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

I have built the sources of firefox 2.0.0.16 with debug messages and below is
the log I get when I run firefox.
Can someone tell me what could be wrong.
Type Manifest File: /root/.mozilla/firefox/fi58rhq8.default/xpti.dat
*** Registering Apprunner components (all right -- a generic module!)
I actually installed Ubuntu on a ppc based mac. Though I couldn't start
the desktop, I could open firefox via an XServer. It works well without
any of the issues I have mentioned above.
Makes me wonder what could be the problem with my ppc board.
One obvious difference that I see is the cpu used

In which directory is the folder cafgdq2t.default then? You must rename
the folder named 37w4fa73.default because that is the profile firefox is
using.

Where is this folder coming from? Firefox obviously does not use it:
stat64(/root/.mozilla/firefox/37w4fa73.default,
Sorry I meant to say /root/.mozilla/firefox/x8ifah0.default folder.
Actually it creates a random name folder name. I must have re installed
firefox after I last took the strace. So you see a different folder
name. But I changed the correct folder name.

Attached is the strace output of firefox in safe mode and normal mode.
Can someone help me figure out what could be the problem?

You are starting firefox as root:
stat64(/root/.mozilla/firefox/37w4fa73.default, {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0700,
st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
So you have to move /root/.mozilla to /root/.mozilla-old and try again.
From your previous comment:
When I go to the folder ~/.mozilla/firefox/, I see following
When I login in root, my home directory is set to /root.
So When I renamed the mozilla folder or the chrome folder as you
mentioned, I was changing in /root/.mozilla only.

Could you try starting in Safe-Mode and remove all installed extensions?
Also, please double-check that you have removed the .mozilla-directory

When I try firefox -ProfileManager, it is not creating the profiles. I
have attached the screenshots I get. In the 4th screen, when I press on
Next button, it hangs. I waited for about more than 30 minutes, but it
does not proceed.
I have tried this a couple of times.

Ok. I tried renaming the .mozilla folder to .mozilla_old and started firefox.
Still it did not help.
I removed firefox installation by apt-get remove firefox. Deleted the .mozilla
folder. Then installed again by apt-get install firefox.
Then tried to create a new profile. But it still hangs.
One more thing I observed is when I start firefox in safe mode and go
Edit-preferences, sometimes it gives me a blank window and sometimes it
shows all the options. If I go to the content tab and change the fonts
and the color settings and close this window, they are not retained.

Am doing all this as root so I guess there is no question of not having
permissions.

Very strange. Please make a backup-copy of your mozilla-folder, try
purging (apt-get purge) firefox and install again. Same thing?

Yes it is strange.
I tried apt-get --purge remove firefox and installed again. But I do
not see any change.
When I do Edit-Preferences ( in safe mode), then I get the attached
screen.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make

Go to ~/.mozilla/firefox/your profile
Rename chrome to chrome-old
Start firefox.
Does that work for you?

When I go to the folder ~/.mozilla/firefox/, I see following directory

Considering that cafgdq2t.default is my profile, I renamed the chrome
folder to chrome-old and then started firefox ( both 2.0.0.3 and 3.0).
