    Yes, same issue here. I was hoping it would fix the issue with Firefox
    terminating unexpectedly when rendering pages that I posted about before, but
    now I don't get a GUI at all after the failed update.

    I got no responses on that post, and it doesn't seem to be in the archives, so
    I'll shamelessly piggyback and repeat my old question:

    I'm running Debian Unstable (installed by way of Knoppix and then heavily
    upgraded), and I just apt-get installed Mozilla Firefox. I've previously run
    nightly builds of Firebird, since I've had the same problem with the Debian
    packages for Firebird in the past, but I'm tired of manual updates, so I'd
    like to get this working.

    Firefox starts up as expected [edit: not any more], but is unexpectedly
    terminated every time a page is about to be rendered. Downloading appears to
    work, and it's just as the rendering is about to begin that the problem
    presents itself. It does, however, manage to render about: (which doesn't
    have any pictures, if that makes any difference).

    If I recall correctly, I did throw in Sun's Java RTE for Firebird at some
    point, but that shouldn't affect the Debian build of Firefox, should it?

    Unfortunately, I've also been unable to get any error messages from Firefox
    when running it from a console window. I've tried to comment out the output
    redirection to /dev/null in /usr/bin/mozilla-firefox, but that made no
    difference.

    If I try to run /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox-bin, I get another error
    message (/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox-bin: error while loading shared
    libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
    directory) before the GUI is loaded, but I suppose that's to be expected when
    not using the startup script for the environment voodoo needed.

    I've looked around a bit, but I can't seem to find anything that fits the
    situation at hand, so I'd be grateful for helpful ideas.
