I recently emerged firefox (0.8) and everytime I click on the "File" menu it crashes with the following error message on the console: firefox-bin: stack smashing attack in function void NS_ScriptErrorReporter(JSContext*, const char*, JSErrorReport*)() /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/run-mozilla.sh: line 451: 29583 Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"} firefox exited with non-zero status (139) I'm assuming this is a result of my building everything with -fstack-protector. See my CFLAGS and such below for more information. Please let me know if I can provide any additional information. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch firefox 2. Click on File Menu 3.

Somewhere in between re-merging firefox and cleaning out and creating new profiles things started working again. I'm not sure exactly where it was but I imagine there was probably and old extension that hadn't been deleted in there. I can sucessfully re-create the problem with my old profile though. Sorry for the confusion.
