After removing and re-installing xulrunner (which removed and re-installed firefox again ), I ran firefox from a terminal and got back a little bit more info than before.

firefox
/usr/bin/mozilla-plugin-config: line 73:  3364 Segmentation fault      $WRAPPER_LIB_DIR/nspluginwrapper/plugin-config -f > /dev/null 2>&1
Couldn't load XPCOM.


the lines near line 73 are:

# Set-up installed plugins
if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then 
    $WRAPPER_LIB_DIR/nspluginwrapper/plugin-config -f > /dev/null 2>&1
else
    $WRAPPER_LIB_DIR/nspluginwrapper/plugin-config $*
fi

As usual, that doesn't help me at all. Any ideas?
