Comment 3 for bug 552923

Thank you for your reply and suggestion.

I am able to run Firefox using the profile manager as you said, but only
that one session. I tried creating and saving a new profile with no luck. I
then tried deleting the old profiles (and the related files/directories) and
creating a new default profile- and I get the same result: it works once,
and then after shutting the Firefox window, I can't get it to reopen.

I then tried deleting the package and reinstalling it after a reboot. I also
tried running Firefox only at the command line in terminal. All get the
same result: the drive spins briefly, and then nothing; system monitor
doesn't show Firefox running in the process list.

I'd appreciate any other suggestions or help you can offer, but I realize
there are probably other more important bugs out there- and I can always
wait until end of April and do a fresh install.

Thanks again-
B.
