640104 - Firefox always crashes on startup, even in safe mode [@ nsCharsetConverterManager::GetUnicodeEncoder(char const*, nsIUnicodeEncoder**) ]

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

[sixtimesseven.42]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US) AppleWebKit/534.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/9.0.597.107 Safari/534.13
Build Identifier: 20110303024323

The crash first happened while logging in to a certain website. Now it always crashes on startup. I have tried the following things and none have helped: 
1) starting in safe mode
2) checking all options on safe mode start (like deleting bookmarks, deleting extensions..)
3) rm -rf ~/.mozilla/firefox ~/.mozilla/extensions

The crash report is here: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/f12fb6e2-a1bd-4b38-bf9d-00a802110308

PS: I am running firefox in a 32bit chroot on a 64 bit OS. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I did not do anything specific (like install a plugin or upgrade flash). It just started happening.

The Crash Report says Firefox 3.6.15. Are you able to reproduce the problem with Firefox 3.6.17 or 4.0.1?

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html

If you temporarily move away the folder ~/.mozilla/extensions/{972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd} (if it exists), does that make the crash go disappear?
