firefox-bin crashes on startup, every time. Here's a startup with gdb, and a stack trace. Looks like it's having touble in _pango_fc_font_map_remove() (gdb) run Starting program: /opt/firefox/firefox-bin Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

kind of had the same problem and after searching for a solution for about 2 weeks now i found out that unmerging mplayerplug-in fixed everything for me so .. give it a try
please consult upstream mozilla devs for this issue.
