The latest Firefox 1.5.0.4 package has a problem. It runs fine until I install any extension. Then, when I go to restart Firefox, it crashes as follows on exit. I have test this with a few extensions and it happens the same way with each:

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  Fixed in firefox 2.0, which is currently in testing.

Which extensions did you try? I'm using the same firefox and extensions like fasterfox and the webdeveloper extensions work fine here.
Comment by Joseph Dunn (joseph) - Friday, 07 July 2006, 15:13 GMT
I tried the web developer extension as well as adblock and del.icio.us. This happens when I don't have a profile yet (no ~/.mozilla directory) and I start firefox and install an extension. It's not so much that the extensions don't work, per se, as when I restart firefox they do, but I suspect that all is not well when I see it dump that error.

does this still happen with firefox 1.5.0.5?
Comment by Joseph Dunn (joseph) - Thursday, 10 August 2006, 19:20 GMT
Yes. Even with today's 1.5.0.6 update.
Comment by Joseph Dunn (joseph) - Thursday, 10 August 2006, 19:48 GMT
Interestingly, I tested today with the Web Developer toolbar and didn't get a crash, but Tab Mix Plus will crash it every time. Start with no profile (cd ~ && rm -rf .mozilla) and try to install Tab Mix Plus, and you'll get a crash on exit.

This seems to happen on other distributions too, and with thunderbird aswel. I've found several similiar backtraces in the mozilla.org bugzilla, but not a single one comes with a fix or additional useful comments.
