The following is from running Firefox from a terminal: No running windows found /usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 117: 24067 Segmentation fault "$mozbin" "$@" firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (139) I am attaching strace and gdb output/stack trace. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make some key fonts contain no read permissions for the user who will run Firefox. (I used chmod o-r /usr/share/fonts/truetype/arial.ttf) 2. Run Firefox, google.com should crash the browser. I'm guessing any requested font that has no read permissions will cause the crash. 3. Actual Results: Firefox segfaults with the strace and backtrace contained in the details. Expected Results: ensured it could read the font first i think

this is already reported. note that to my knowledge mozilla.org does not ship a "mozilla-launcher" so you should have reported your problem to your linux vendor. unfortunately you didn't indicate which that is.

Comment on attachment 231859 [details] useless you need a build with symbols. if you can't get one from your distribution, then you can install a mozilla.org release and let talkback correlate symbols once it reports the crash to the database.

> this is already reported. as bug 183729 and bug 180309. I don't know of anything more recent. with gentoo, you get to build with symbols yourself. http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces/DistroSpecificInstructions
