I have created a new user on my system, which of course will build a new
firefox profile, with no extensions. I have also moved the
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins directory to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.old and I
have opened the browser with no themes, extensions, or plugins. Attempts
to access the extensions manager or multiple Horde webmail systems cause
the browser to crash.
I have launched firefox with strace and cleared the screen before trying
to access the extensions menu.

I am not able to determine the cause based on this output, but someone
else might be able to. I have no problem accessing the extensions manager
in firefox 1.0.8.
