Start the Firefox form the terminal window. then try some operation. You will get the messages in the terminal window. I think.

Thanks Masaru, I launched from the terminal while root and it ran fine. I switched back to my user profile and got the following: /usr/bin/firefox: line 159: 8589 Segmentation fault $AOSS $MOZ_PROGRAM $@ Does anyone know what this may mean? I am not technical enough to troubleshoot this further. Thanks in advance everyone...

man strace do that before you launch firefox from the konsole.

It will be a large log but at least you can examine the details.

BTW FF is up to 1.5.0.4 so if you have an older you might try the new one.

Thanks for the suggestion. All I could make of the strace was several entries where FF was trying to find some files in the .mozilla/firefox/ folder. I could not really make heads or tales of the rest. Tried updating to 1.5.0.4. It did not work. I think my profiles for FF were somehow corrupted. Against better judgment I renamed the .mozilla folder and launched FF. This created a new .mozilla folder and now everything works. Had to re-import my bookmarks and reinstall a couple of extensions, but other than that, everything is well now. Probably not the best solution and could have been prone to a major problem, but I guess I dodged a bullet.... Thanks everyone!
