Summary:	www-client/firefox-4.0-r3 crashes on launch of newly created profile

Description vsync 2011-04-15 00:18:13 UTC

Immediately after creating a new profile, firefox segfaults.  This is the case when launching with -ProfileManager or without any ~/.mozilla present at all.  Trying to restart and point it to the newly created profile causes what appears to be the same segfault.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. firefox -ProfileManager
2. click "Create Profile", "Next", enter "test", "Finish"
3. select "test" from profile list, click "Start Firefox"
Actual Results:  
segmentation fault  firefox -ProfileManager

Expected Results:  
Firefox should start with the new profile

This appears to be a regression from 4.0 or 4.0-r1 since I created multiple profiles a few weeks ago with one of those versions no problem.

Marked "critical" since this would appear to prevent any new user from running Firefox
