A good suggestion. It crashes with an empty plugin directory; it also crashes with just libnullplugin.so in the directory. I've looked in logs, and don't see anything associated with the crash. My .xsession-errors gets quite a lot of chatter from Mozilla starting up: Invalid entry (missing '=') at /usr/bin/mozilla:38 Invalid entry (missing '=') at /usr/bin/mozilla:43 ....
