Please include stack traces when reporting segfaults. Did you try cleaning out
your old preferences?

Comment 2

[Sean Su]

reassigning to Samir.

Comment 3

[Grace Bush]

I'm confused by the line 
*** QfaServices is being registered- 
this is seen only in commercial builds and not mozilla builds (which the 
Installer uses currently) 
Commercial installer not available until 6/15 10pm (tonight)

should this bug belong to another component?

Comment 4

[Samir Gehani]

The summary is a tad bit misleading implying that the installer seg faults 
(altering it to coincide with the apparent truth).  The originally quoted output 
is from mozilla itself.  Not sure about the QfaServices  registration that Grace 
pointed out.  Mysterious, I must admit.

J Laramie,
Did you use the tarball or the installer to install this build?

Grace, 
Are we seeing these symptoms on either an installed Linux mozilla build or an 
extracted tarball Linux mozilla build running on a stcok RedHat 6.1 or RedHat 
6.2 installation?

Comment 5

[Grace Bush]

I do not see this output on either Mozilla installed build or tarball. I see the 
QFA line only using commercial tarball when it registers talkback

Comment 6

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

QFA is Quality Feedback Agent, that is the talkback startup you're seeing in the 
console.  The reporter must have been using a talkback build.

Comment 7

[J Laramie]

I used the tarball to install.

Comment 8

[Samir Gehani]

Based on J Laramie's last comments this is not an installer issue.  Changing 
component and assuming default owner.

Comment 9

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

[e-mail] (J Laramie) can you test this with a current build and see if it
still fails.  Thanks

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

resolving worksforme 071308 mozilla build.  If you still see this with a current 
build, please reopen.
