Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
Am facing one problem while running Firefox on power pc machine running Ubuntu. Let me give the details.
1. I have a headless ( monitor less) power pc machine on which I have installed Ubuntu.
2. I used apt-get install Firefox to install Firefox on this ( Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.3, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2007 Mozilla.org)
3. I run X ming on my Windows XP machine and use putty to connect to the power pc machine.
4. When I run Firefox & on the putty terminal, Firefox throws up a blank dialog with OK button. When I press OK, Firefox closes.
5. If I run Firefox in safe-mode it opens without any issues. But the preferences tab is blank again.
Can someone tell me what could be the issue here ? I want to get the Firefox running in the normal mode.
I tried the same with Firefox 2.0.0.4 ( by building the from the source). I observed the same behavior.
I also tried with Firefox 3.0, This time the dialog displayed the message "Error Launching browser window: No XBL binding for browser". In addition on the console, I get this error "(Gecko:2236): G Lib-CRITICAL **: g_hash_table_unref: assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed."

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Could you please try this:
Go to ~/.mozilla/ firefox/ <your profile>
Rename chrome to chrome-old
Start firefox.
Does that work for you?
