Thanks for the reply: I am currently running as follows: misbehaviour as described above no xulrunner in normal or root execution path rpm -q mozilla-xulrunner190 MozillaFirefox
should be 1.9.0.10 and 3.0.0.10 respectively.
If not, run "zypper up" and let it install the online updates.
Ciao, Marcus
(sorry Marcus forgot reply-to-all the first time) I think the system is already up-to-date (or at any rate thinks it is!)

Please remove and reinstall (really with zypper remove or rpm -e --nodeps and remove (/usr/lib64/firefox and /usr/lib64/xulrunner-1.9.0.10 before installing if it is still there) mozilla-xulrunner190 mozilla-xulrunner190-gnomevfs mozilla-xulrunner190-translations (if installed) MozillaFirefox MozillaFirefox-translations (if installed)
The above just to be sure (I'm not aware of an update bug though but who knows). Do you use en_US or any other locale?

I tried all that and ended up with exactly the same behaviour as before (small red message then larger window whihc closes after a second.)
I installed openSUSE with en_GB (and a German keyboard.) LANG is set to en_GB.UTF-8 , but LC_ALL is unset.
While looking for mozilla-things in yast, I noticed Gnome's epiphany browser which I have never used. That starts up with the openSUSE home page, but closes "unexpectedly" after a second or so with no error messages.
Well I am not sure what did the trick, but the problem has now gone away. What I did differently today was to start firefox in safe mode from the command line with an explicit (fairly simple and trusted, my own) web page. Since the behaviour was the same with previous versions too, I suspect that the problem was caused by malformed data which firefox was attempting somehow to read during startup. Perhaps a corrupt file related to one of the extensions I have installed, which has now been fixed. I guess I will never know.
