The installer binary namely mozilla-installer-bin dumps core when started..

The stack trace seems to imply that some variable is uninitialized before it is
used.

The culprit is ..

int
nsComponent::AddDependee(char *aDependee)
{
    if (!aDependee)
        return E_PARAM;

-->culprit    mDependees[mNextDependeeIdx] = aDependee;
    mDependees[++mNextDependeeIdx] = NULL;

    return OK;
}

at this point mNextDependeeIdx is not initialized so has a very large value(out 
of bounds and dumps core).
