firefox 3.6 crashes on startup with Segmentation fault; tried also with --safe-mode and LD_PRELOAD="/lib/libc.so.6" firefox but without success. Also, ran revdep-rebuild to be on the safe side.

More updates on this: I've been able to start up firefox by removing all .mozilla dir, but it crashes immediately when I start to browse. It crashes when I try to open iGoogle page with a few widgets, for instance, or even trying to reload a bookmaks backup from json files. Maybe some issues with db files? This happens only on a intel 32 bits installation (see info), now I'm writing from a 64bit amd with FF 3.6 without problems. Now I'm recompiling ff and xulrunner with debug and no gcc optimizations at all.
I have the exact same problem also on 32-bit. I tried running strace, but I'm not too familier with it to really know what I'm looking for. The only thing of interest I found was: access("/home/<username>/.mozilla/firefox/91noecf5.default/content-prefs.sqlite-journal", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) Besides that the trace ended with: futex(0xb1d96f88, FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE_PRIVATE, 1, 2147483647, 0xb1d16904, 346) = 1 futex(0xaa1500a0, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 1 gettimeofday({1264162263, 812457}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({1264162263, 812486}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({1264162263, 812508}, NULL) = 0 gettimeofday({1264162263, 812668}, NULL) = 0 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- unlink("/home/cthulhu/.mozilla/firefox/91noecf5.default/lock") = 0 rt_sigaction(SIGSEGV, {SIG_DFL, [], 0}, NULL, 8) = 0 rt_sigprocmask(SIG_UNBLOCK, [SEGV], NULL, 8) = 0 tgkill(26522, 26522, SIGSEGV) = 0 --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) @ 0 (0) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ Segmentation fault Let me know if a complete trace could be useful.
After recompiling without any gcc optimizations things didn't changed. This is the debug output: (firefox:22796): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times jemalloc.c:5837: Failed assertion: "((alignment - 1) & alignment) == 0 && alignment >= sizeof(void *)" Program firefox (pid = 22796) received signal 6.

Well, may be unrelated, but you should upgrade glib (there was a certain change in your version, that was reverted in the next release). For the moment, firefox 3.6 works just fine for me on x86.
I have the same problem, glib is the latest from portage. If I start with a new profile, it works. When I try to import my old bookmarks, it segfaults. Might be something with sqlite?
I have the same problem. If I start firefox with both "-safe-mode" and "-private" it at least works for a few sites, otherwise it immediately crashes. glib is 2.22.3 and sqlite is 3.6.22 I also tried "USE=-* emerge -1 mozilla-firefox" but this didn't help.
compiled it with USE="custom-optimization" and it works now, amazing...
I've just tried with glib 2.22.4, no changes. Sqlite is 3.6.22-r1 I'll try in a short while with USE="custom-optimization", just to see what happens.

1)update world firefox without optimization == fail 2)emerge firefox with optimization == fail 3)remove .mozilla after reemerge with optimization == works, but crashes alot. 4)remerge again without optimization == fail 5)give up, masked.
I remove file prefs.js and all works.
Same problem here with firefox 3.6 x86 32bit

I've tried all of the above solutions and had no success. The thing that worked for me (though this is very unscientific) was downgrading to glib-2.22.2.

It could be a problem of glib. Moreover I noticed that it crashes when it search in the history (I write one letter in the address bar it appears the list, when I press a second letter it crashes ALWAYS). If I set "no suggestion" in the address bar it works. Moorover again it crashes when I manage my bookmark.
the addressbar searches the places.sqlite, so does the bookmark manager. Firefox also stores the history in there. I suspect there is a problem with sqlite. In the old ebuilds there was a USE flag for system sqlite which is gone now. I recompiled sqlite and then xulrunner & firefox with the custom-optimization flag. It's stable now even with my old profile.
Humm same here. Downgrade to 3.5.7 and wait for solution.
