User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0

SeaMonkey 2.0.13 crashes on start up after I started using Firefox 4.0. At one time a message came up that said SeaMonkey was already open with no browser open. Safe boot does not help. Completely uninstalled Seamonkey and downloaded and reinstalled, no change. Created new user profile no change. 
I have two Macbooks that were using SeaMonkey, only put Firefox 4 on one and that's the one with no Seamonkey problem. Firefox 4.0 works fine. Not positive this is a Firefox issue but after three days of troubleshooting that's where I am.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Starts to display the browser window and crashes. 
2.after creating a new profile, sometimes it asks which profile to start.
3.Message just says, quit unexpectedly.
Actual Results:  
starts to open, crashes every time.


No crash report except from Console. First 25 step of 135.

Application Specific Information:
abort() called

Firefox and Seamonkey use the same core but they are installed in different directories and should not affect each other.

The stack itself looks like Font related and it's in the OS X system libs ! 
Do you installed some fonts before your got the issue ?

You could also try a Seamonkey nightly build and start it with your new profile.

(I'm currently using the SM nightly)

Issue Resolved,  Bad Fonts in OS Font lib.
Don't know what caused the corrupt fonts

Thanks matti.
