Hi Alan,

I have tried to start from terminal, but no message. I have tried to
run after revdep-rebuild but nothing. I have installed binary version
but the result was the same.
After these I have tried strace and if I remenber correctly it stopped
with segmentation fault. Unfortunately I can't reproduce this problem because few days ago I changed my system from 32 bit to 64 bit. Here
everything is working fine according firefox.

=C2=A0I know I should have report it but, that time, I was really tired=
emotionally. :(
