At first mozilla was fine, but netscape 6.x's installer died regularly. Sometimes with netscape 6.x's installer, if I just retried it enough times it would eventually work, sometimes it just would never work. This last time, netscape 6.x's installer worked well. I don't recall if it segfaulted a small number of times or not at all, but I have a working recent version of netscape 6.x. Now, however, mozilla seems to have inherited netscape 6.x's buggy installer, and I really miss being able to download with lukemftp and not having to put up with the !@#$ segfaults. What I see is: seki-root> ./mozilla-installer Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 1510 (gtk_widget_hide): assertion `widget != NULL' failed. ./mozilla-installer: line 55: 2190 Segmentation fault ./mozilla-installer-bin --sync $@ Please, can I have a nonbuggy way to install again? I guess the installer might not get in my way much if it would just run as designed.
which build did you run into this with? (over to syd)

Dan Stromberg, can you please test this bug again with a newer nightly build to see if this still happens? You can find nightly builds at: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/ Please report back with your findings and thank you for helping test Mozilla!

From the reporter via e-mail: I was on vacation or I would have gotten back to you sooner. I just tried the installer again with mozilla 0.9.3. I got another crash. I tried it twice. I only the recorded the output the second time. This second time, I got: seki-root> ./mozilla-installer Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 1510 (gtk_widget_hide): assertion `widget != NULL' failed. ./mozilla-installer: line 55: 15662 Segmentation fault ./mozilla-installer-bin --sync $@

Hmm, that e-mail got marked new again somehow and I thought it looked familiar (which obviously it was!). Didn't realize I had already submitted it. Anyway, this does look like a dupe. Marking such. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 89925 ***
