Description of problem: Running "firefox" from the command line often has no effect. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.0.0.8-1.fc7 I've had this problem since at least Fedora Core 5 - I just assume it'll get fixed in time, but I guess it won't! How reproducible: About half of the time Steps to Reproduce: 1. firefox Actual results: $ firefox & [2] 27903 [2]+ Exit 1 firefox Sometimes it is "Exit 1", more often it is "Exit 2". Expected results: Firefox runs!
Could you try to run couple of times (until you will be able to reproduce it) firefox in this way: sh -x $(which firefox) 2>&1 |tee /tmp/firefox-debug-log.txt and attach to this bug as a separate uncompressed attachment /tmp/firefox-debug-log.txt file. THank you.

At this point, we're going to only be taking security fixes and major stability fixes into this release of Fedora. However, we still want to ensure the bug is fixed in the next version. We'd appreciate if you could test Firefox 3, available at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html or now shipping as the default in Fedora rawhide and provide feedback as to whether it still exists so we can file a ticket upstream to try to fix it in Firefox 3 before it is released.
Since there are insufficient details provided in this report for us to investigate the issue further, and we have not received feedback to the information we have requested above, we will assume the problem was not reproducible, or has been fixed in one of the updates we have released for the reporter's distribution. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade to the latest update of their distribution, and if this issue turns out to still be reproducible in the latest update, please reopen this bug with additional information. Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. [This is a mass-closing request, if you think that this bug shouldn't be closed, please, reopen with additional information.]
