    Issue with FireFox

    This is really strange for me because I love firefox to death and have never had an issue with it (except Window$ trying to tell me it was a virus) untill now. When ever I try to change a setting or try to access the HD in any way, whither through an Extention or through the change a setting, or to upload a picture, It shuts down. what could be going on?

    try running ldconfig (as root) then try firefox again
    try removing all extensions and then try again

    Did it ever work (or did this just start)? How did you install firefox?
