I can confirm that firefox works with mime.cache existing and executing firefox with "FIREFOX_DSP=none firefox". This bug appears very random though. Sometimes if mime.cache exists the problem doesn't occur. Then all of a sudden I'll see this bug. If I mv mime.cache out of the way it'll rectify the issue. At one stage I also thought it was related to having xmms playing music but at this very moment I have killed xmms, mime.cache exists and I can cause firefox to exit with a bus error. mv'ing mime.cache OR executing with "FIREFOX_DSP=none firefox" works perfectly though. Maybe mime.cache isn't related to this bug? I'm quite confused as to what exactly is causing it :-\ David. -- .''`.
