compiled without gtk2 and it would not start up. Simply printed "No running windows found.". When I ran /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/firefox-bin directly, it exited right away with an exit code of 1. Here's the strace of /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/firefox-bin: http://herkamire.com/downloads/firefox_strace and ldd /usr/lib/MozillaFirefox/firefox-bin: http://herkamire.com/downloads/firefox_ldd and finally emerge info on my box: http://herkamire.com/downloads/emerge_info This problem went away when I rebuild mozilla-firefox with USE=gtk2 Thanks, - Jason
I have the same problem, it also affects Thunderbird. Previous versions worked fine.

Problem is stuff hanging around in the profile. Current mozilla-launcher fixes the problem by removing problematic files from the profile the first time you run after updating. Update to mozilla-firefox-1.0-r2 and you shouldn't have the problem. Of course you also lose gtk1 support but them is the brakes... no more upstream support for gtk1.
