Crash on startup if /dev/zero is not WRITEable

Details
Firefox (1.0.6) crashes on startup if it cannot *write* to /dev/zero. Mozilla (1.7.10) works just fine in this case. (See Bug 245999 and 70235 , looks like they got fixed for Mozilla ?!) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: # su root -c "chmod 444 /dev/zero" $ firefox -> Segfault Workaround: chmod 666 /dev/zero :-/

Hey, why did you file as NEW :)? As you noted, this is a dupe of Bug 70235, Bug 70235 is in Product Core, so that bug applies to all products. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 70235 ***

BTW: Why 1.7.10 does not crash, i cannot explain to you, but i'm sure it has not been fixed :). As said Bug 70235 is a Core issue and Mozilla 1.7.10 and Firefox 1.0.6 use exactly the same Core code.

> Hey, why did you file as NEW :)?
Because i didn't think its a duplicate of the other 2 bugs ;-)
IMHO 70235 was fixed because this didn't happen with mozilla. Thats why i
created a new Bugreport.
BTW: 70235 is about 4 years old :-/
