Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

Hello, I have some problem with firefox, yesterday I updated many packages, firefox3.6 included
and now firefox doesn't run anymore, I found that if I delete the .mozilla folder (that is in my home
folder) firefox runs once, then when I close firefox and want to run again, it doesn run, so I have
to manually delete the .mozilla folder in order to have firefox running again... I had the same problem
with Ubuntu 9.10 since I have updated to firefox3.6

Now I'm using:
  * Ubuntu 10.04 beta1 (upgraded from alpha3)
  * Firefox 3.6+nobinonly+0ubuntu6
  * Gnome 2.29.92-0ubuntu2
  * Linux 2.6.32-17.26-generic

Hardware:
  * HP Pavillion dv6921la
      + AMD TurionX2 2.0GHz

I deleted all the .mozilla folder in my home, it works OK,
then I just close it without installing anything,
then when I want to start it again, firefox simply doesn't run.
I tried to launch firefox by terminal and there is no error messages...
