Details

In run-mozilla.sh, it uses md5sum to crc a core file.
The size of core file may be huge, XXX mega bytes or X giga bytes.

If the user left such a core file in his home directory, the startup of Firefox may take 20 seconds or more.

I suggest we remove the core file checking in run-mozilla.sh.
I don't think it's very useful to normal user, as we've our crash reporting tool now.
For developers, I think they can deal with core files by themselves.

If we'd like to keep the checking, I think to use
crc_old=`ls -l core` is enough.
The new core file is unlikely to be in same size and on same minute.
