Bug Description

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

Running Firefox 2.0.0.2 on Ubuntu feisty. When I start mozilla-firefox, I get a segmentation fault before anything happens. I tried to debug a bit :
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread -1220912928 (LWP 7818)]
0xb7e8a066 in nsCOMPtr_base::~nsCOMPtr_base ()
from /usr/lib/firefox/libxpcom_core.so
Sorry if the bug is already reported, but surfing is quite hard without a decent browser.

I followed the wiki steps. It seems the problem comes from an extension. Firefox starts OK in safe-mode.

yes this is colorzilla which is not compatible. Start in -safe-mode and remove colorzilla. We are working with author to resolve this problem. I mark this bug as duplicate of the tracker bug of that issue so you receive mails in case that there is a solution.
