After you launch it, the process keeps running but the window does not
open or it terminates by itself right after launch?
What does it say when you launch it from the console?

When I launchit from the console nothing happens at all. When I launch
from the icon on the gnome panel there is some action for about 5
seconds and then it stops.

By any chance, are you using ATI driver (fglrx) in dual-screen mode,
while not connected to an external monitor? That happens to me sometimes.


I think it's some bug in firefox that can't deal with some
configuration.. All you need to do is use xrandr (I use krandrtray) to
set the correct resolution, run "killall firefox-bin" if you had started
any sessions already, then start firefox again



If this issue is not related, start firefox in console with -safe-mode
flag, see it that helps. If not, try erasing (renaming) your profile
directory

I am not using the ATI driver.
Which "profile directory" are you referring to? Do you mean the file
/etc/profile?

Your /home/~user/.mozilla/firefox directory , try renaming that and
restarting firefox. That will cause it to create a fresh set of
preferences.

Ok, I tried that, but it makes no difference.
There is no message in /var/log/messages when I try to launch ff.
