Description of problem: Firefox does not open all the way - if I run it in a terminal, it asks to restore or create a new session, then just hangs there (no segfault, no errors, nothing to stderr). I wish I could give better information, but there are no traces as the application doesn't terminate unless forced to. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.0.0.3-4.fc7.x86_64 How reproducible: Always; just open firefox. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot system 2. Log in 3. Start firefox Actual results: Beyond asking to restore or create a new session, nothing happens, but process stays alive. Expected results: Firefox opens to the user's selected home page. Additional info: This is a fresh install of FC7 test 4.
Hm. Haven't ever seen anything like this before... Can you attach the output of `sh -x firefox`?
Created attachment 153719 [details] sh -x firefox output It is extremely strange indeed. The i686 version direct from mozilla works fine (with a few SELinux denials, but that isn't very important right now).
That's all normal... how about strace output? strace -o firefox.log firefox

Hm... I can't find anything weird yet in that. Does moving your ~/.mozilla out of the way before running it help?
Well, strangely enough, after installing Thunderbird, the problem went away. It works just fine after that; when it wasn't loading, moving .mozilla out of the way didn't help.
Really! Does uninstalling thunderbird allow it to work?
