Firefox segmentationa faults with the message "/usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 116: 9832 Segmentation fault "$mozbin" "$@" firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (139) " when I attempt to print to file. It does in fact look like it is doing the printing and get's right to the end before the crashing.

Following a tip from the forums here is an update. If I go to about:config and toggle all preferences with "Type2" in their name to "false" then I can print to file! The only message I get in the xterm from this is NO FONT WAS FOUND Name["Sans"] The resulting ps file looks ok at first glance. Raphael
Created attachment 66218 [details] Debug output of firefox crashing I recompiled firefox with debug turned on and this is the output from the beginning. I loaded firefox and went straight to print to file.
Also reported to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=305878 complete with proper stack trace this time which appears to confirm diagnosis as a font problem.
This bug refers to an old version of firefox so I am closing it now. Raphael
