I accidently typed ".gentoo.org" to the addressbar of an opened firefox (yes, it's obviously mistyped :) ), and it suddenly chrashed. Than I started a new firefox from console to see if it writes something when I mistype the address again, and I got this: ~ $ firefox No running windows found /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 119: 13904 Segmentation fault $(type -P aoss) "$mozbin" "$@" firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (139) Strace output attached.

Try with GDB. If you don't have sys-devel/gdb, install it: emerge sys-devel/gdb Next run: gdb /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox-bin run quit Post the output of GDB.

I tried some times starting firefox with /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox-bin, no crash. Than I tried again some times using the "Steps to Reproduce", and firefox crashed again every time! Than I started with strace: strace -ff -o ff.out firefox It made 30 files. Packed and attached. In the 435. line of the file ff.out there's a SIGSEGV. The end of the line shows that the PID 9750 process made the segfault. So I looked into the ff.out.9750 and it ends with a "poll(" string. I hope it means more to you.

/usr/bin/firefox is the script which invokes script /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher which eventually invokes /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox-bin. /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher can be run with option "--debug" / "-g" which enables debugging with some debugger (e.g. GDB). Edit /usr/bin/firefox with your favourite editor (e.g. Vim): Change line: exec /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher "$@" To: exec /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher -g "$@" Next run `firefox` in console, next type `run` and next try to type ".gentoo.org" to the addressbar. (If Firefox doesn't crash, close it.) Type `quit`.

After renaming it back to /lib/libnss_mdns.so.2 rebuild mDNSResponder, mozilla-launcher and mozilla-firefox with debug information enabled: # quickpkg mozilla-firefox # FEATURES="nostrip" emerge -1 mDNSResponder mozilla-{launcher,firefox} Next post the output of running in console: $ firefox -g

(In reply to comment #16) > I have grepped entire Firefox 2.0.0.3 sources and I haven't found any > "nss_mdns". You'll never find any referente to nss_mdns in the Firefox source code. This library belongs to mDNSResponder, one of the three Zeroconf implementations available to Gentoo users, and it's invoked when some program requests DNS resolution. (address -> ip). The Zeroconf addresses begin with a dot (like .local or .tcp), and when .gentoo.org is required, it should return a 'hostname not legal' error. When Firefox segfaults, is the mdnsd service running? Try /etc/init.d/mdnsd start before running Firefox, and repeat the previous tests. As an alternative, change to avahi instead of mDNSResponder. You could follow the instructions from http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-4103073.html
Still happening?
(In reply to comment #22) > Still happening? > After a HDD crash :( I had to reinstall my Gentoo completely. The problem has gone, and now I use 2.0.0.11. Anyway, thanks for all of your help, and sorry that I didn't respond lately :-$
Closing, then
