          | Whenever I create a new firefox profile it works the first time but the next time I run it I get a "segmentation fault" error.  I've tried with new profiles 7 or 8 times.  This is with or without extensions.  The only thing I can think of that may have had any effect is flash or mplayer plug-ins but I can't do without them. |

          | I do not know what a "segmentation fault" is but it may help to tell us where your profile(s) is/are being created. the default is your home directory. on what partition is your /home directory, and how is that partition formatted? |

          The whole kanotix installation is on one ext3 partition and the profile is the default /home/user/.mozilla
 
This happened after the kanotix install and also when firefox was updated during a dist-upgrade.  I've also tried downloading firefox from mozilla and it's still the same. |

          from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Segmentation_fault:
 
 
Zitat: 
 
A segmentation fault occurs when a program attempts to access a memory location that it is not allowed to access, or attempts to access a memory location in a way that is not allowed (for example, attempting to write to a read-only location, or to overwrite part of the operating system).
 
 
check your permissions of /home/user/.mozilla - is [user] the owner? do you have read/write permission?
 
 
that's all I can think of. or, try creating a new user account and seeing whether the same problem occurs with the new account |

          Try deleting the mozilla folder in your home and restarting firefox. Maybe uninstall and reinstall using apt again as well.
 
 
I run firefox from apt, iceweasel, and a version of firefox from Mozilla all without problems. |
