(My apologies for the random snips, up until just this afternoon I had the Fedora mailing list coming in in archive format, which doesn't really lend itself well to replying and keeping the message threading). > > I must be one of the very few people this has happened to, as Google > > appears to have only pointed me at 'Bug 520339' ( > > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=520339 ). > Have you tried starting firefox from the command line with -safe-mode selected? Yes, I have, same result. For the time being, I've basically reverted -all- software package updates from 2009-12-18 forward by basically doing a: $ rpm -qa --last > list-file and then saving a subset of those packages listed newer than 2009-12-18... later doing a: $ cat list-file | xargs echo | xargs sudo rpm -e --nodeps ...to remove them. Then I disabled all repos other than the original fedora repo when reinstalling them, finally doing a: $ cat list-file | xargs echo | xargs sudo yum install -y ...which at least got firefox back to run-able state (whew). Here are the versions from that previous package query, in case anyone's interestd (although I'm guessing the real problem lies elsewhere). $ rpm -qa \*xulrunner\* \*firefox\* \*sqlite\* qt-sqlite-4.6.0-1.fc12.x86_64 xulrunner-1.9.1.4-1.fc12.x86_64 mono-data-sqlite-2.4.2.3-2.fc12.x86_64 sqlite-3.6.20-1.fc12.x86_64 firefox-3.5.4-1.fc12.x86_64 Finally, attached is the list of packages that were removed/reinstalled. Sorry, I'd try and narrow down the culprit, but this problem basically cost me a day of work and I'm short on time right now. I'll revisit this and update back if I can narrow down the real problem later. --Mike
