Since the first bump to firefox-4 (and xulrunner-2) firefox refuses to start even with clean profile. It crashes with segmentation fault. I'm running firefox-3 atm, it does not have this issue. Reproducible: Always

Firefox-4.0 (since beta8 to release) worked fine on my old amd64 with athlon x2 After upgrading cpu to new core i5 and rebuilding world (with update to firefox 4.0.1) it now crashes with sigsegv.

Same with clean profile nE0sIghT, you have a point I've tried FF4 with "old" C2D Intel CPU, and it works fine. Looks like GCC is the culprit, as emerging xulrunner-2 and firefox-4 with these CFLAGS: "-march=native -pipe -O2 -mnoavx" produces fully functional ff4
Nikolay, thanks for solution I'm added -mno-avx flag to /etc/portage/env for xulrunner and thunderbird (version 3.3 alpha from mozilla overlay, based on xulrunner2, also affected) and they now compiled and running fine.
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/mozilla.git;a=commitdiff;h=216b50b3890544506ba2fb97decc960a1d49418e This will be merged with the tree in the next few hours, I suggest everyone that is experiencing failure to sync up in roughly 5 hours and rebuild xulrunner/firefox and if your using tb-3.3 it as well.
Tree and overlay are both in sync thanks for reporting.
/me wonders whether after 2 years of developent the flag no-avx is still necessary

Just a small information update, no action required. The issue still exists. I've tried to build FF 23 yesterday and the build fails when there is AVX enabled in the CFLAGS (in my case march=corei7-avx fails while march=corei7 works)
