Comment 27 for bug 133124

Hello,

I'm new here so please let me know what I need to do next. I'll start by posting as much information as I can. Right now, I'm using Swiftfox, as that seems to work.

I upgraded to Ubuntu 7.10 from Ubuntu 7.04 using the alternate CD in combination with Update Manager.

I have the latest Adobe Flash beta plugin (I believe it was released on the 1st of October?)

My other Firefox extensions are: Adblock Plus 0.7.5.3 with Adblock Filterset.G Updater, DOM Inspector, DownThemAll! 1.0b2, Fasterfox 2.0.0, Mozilla XForms, Stop Autoplay 0.6.4, Tabbrowser Preferences 1.3.1.1, and YesScript 1.1

I am currently using iFox Graphite 2.5 as my theme.

It seems many people are having problems with Nvidia graphics hardware; however, I am using an ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 on a Dell E1505, and I am using fglrx 8.40.4, which I downloaded from ATI's website (I didn't install it from Add/Remove Programs.)

Firefox crashes on startup and I do not even get to see the window. When I launch it from the terminal it gives me the complaint about some font and cairo, but when I use "sudo firefox" (I know that's a bad idea, which is why I'm using Swiftfox right now), it works fine.

I am installing the debugging tools right now, and I will post the logs in a few minutes. Right now, Swiftfox has taken over, so when I try to launch Firefox, it will launch Swiftfox instead. I will remove Swiftfox for the time being to get the logs. I hope this helps you guys improve Ubuntu and Firefox. Once again, please let me know if you need more information.
