Very odd. Have you tried moving your profile directory out of the way?
Any extensions installed?
I did one better, I created a new user just for the purpose of testing firefox, a virgin profile if you will. Still the same, though the official release from mozilla
(Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1)
appears not to have any of these problems. I tried supplanting the components dir of the broken-firefox content with the offical one but that seemed not to fix anything. The only real difference between the two binaries must therefore reside in the compiled libs that reside in the firefox dir.
libmozjs.so libnssckbi.so libsmime3.so libssl3.so libxpistub.so libnspr4.so libplc4.so libsoftokn3.chk libxpcom_compat.so libnss3.so libplds4.so libsoftokn3.so libxpcom.so
ok a bit of supposition I know, but if I knew which lib was responsible for input editing and history lists I'd put money on that being flawed in some way. And no, I have not browsed too closely at the source tree, I was hoping someone else had already had more intimate knowledge than myself.
Let me know if this is helping or hindering things? ;)
Cheers,
Don.
