88204 - Broswer crashes when NOT starting as root

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Lukas Zapletal]

I have installed Moz 0.9.1 from RPMs (I uninstalled 0.7 from RedHat 7.1 before).
As root everything works fine.

When I try to start as normal user, segmentation fault appears at the very
beginning of the start process. I tried to get the backtrace:

(gdb) r
Starting program: /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin 
(no debugging symbols found)...(no debugging symbols found)...
(no debugging symbols found)...[New Thread 1024 (LWP 1305)]

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

It is a known issue (release notes) that you have to start mozilla as root once
after installation. Did you do that? If that does not work, try moving your
profile somewhere safe and let mozilla create a fresh one.

relnotes and bugs tell you to run once as owner or run regxpcom and regchrome. -
 INVALID.
