No crashes, extensions > working fine and all else. 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.

Process 32639 detached 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.
