Hello, I had some difficulty following the instructions from step five. It seems that if I do "firefox -g" firefox isn't actually attempting to run at that point.
However following the install of the firefox-dbg package the symptoms have changed. Instead of a straight segfault I get a gtk box saying "Firefox is already running but is not responding, To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system". However during this time I find no evidence with a ps -aux that shows another firefox-bin. I was able to get the back trace information from gdb with this message displayed. Text file attached.
