I cant reproduce this on a x86 system on the same firefox version. 

Well it doesn't work on this x86_64 machine:

And if I try to run the binary, I get libmozjs.so not found.

Is there anything else that would be helpful?

Same problem here, also on x86_64.

Reverting to firefox-1.1-0.2.5.deerpark.alpha2.x86_64.rpm fixes the problem.

 rpm -q firefox
firefox-1.1-0.2.7.deerpark.alpha2.1

Still doesn't start.

FWIW, I played with disabling pango (and enabling ) in the startup script.

 rpm -q firefox
firefox-1.1-0.2.8.deerpark.alpha2

Still doesn't start.

Am I the only one who can't start firefox on x86_64?

I bit more of stracing shows this, that might be a reason?

[pid  5575] write(3, "\16\0\2\0,\0`\2", 8) = 8
[pid  5575] read(3, 
"\1\30\344\1\0\0\0\0H\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\310\0\310\0\0\0\0\0\240\21\37\1\0\0\0\0", 
32) = 32
[pid  5575] writev(2, [{"/usr/lib64/firefox-1.5/firefox-bin", 34}, {": ", 2}, 
{"symbol lookup error", 19}, {": ", 2}, {"/usr/lib64/firefox-1.5/components/

}, {"", 0}, {"", 0}, {"\n", 1}], 10) = 147
[pid  5575] exit_group(127)             = ?

FWIW,
firefox-1.5-0.5.0.beta1
now Works For Me on amd64.

GOT IT!

Initally, it did not work here either.
Then i did some deep digging, and realized I had the following installed:

]$ rpm -qa --qf "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n" | grep nspr
mozilla-nspr-1.7.10-1.5.1.x86_64
nspr-4.6-4.i386

simply doing a "yum install nspr.x86_64" replaced the old mozilla-nspr and that 
solved the problem.
