Hi folks,
Problem: Firefox segmentation faults when using link encryption. This
happens on AMD64 and i386 versions (Opteron and P4 processors)
as well as Firefox 1.5, 2.0.0.3 and 2.0.0.4.
When SSL or TLS is involved, I get a seg fault. This is
seen whether the web site is ebay or Bank of America.
Things were "running fine" before 13 July, when I did a
ports (only) upgrade. I have dropped the ports back to 17
June on one of the systems, and will retry from there.
I have deleted the /var/db/ports/firefox/options file,
and tried rebuilding firefox with very basic options, and my
make.conf file has NOT changed between the "working" and not
working period.
Mozilla 1.7.13 IS working, so what would be the basic
differences on how they handle link encryption?
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Bruce

Have you completely uninstalled all Mozilla related packages before installing ffox? are you using a clean profile? You can create a new profile with firefox -ProfileManager . Alternatively, if you attach ktrace the the firefox-bin before you click on the https link you may get something useful in the kdump.out file.

I've seen it a couple of times that Firefox becomes unstable after an upgrade. In this case I start by moving ~/.mozilla/firefox to another location and start from scratch. I don't know if this is the same as Norberto suggests (creating a new profile). HTH Christian
