Firefox, like any other application, (gedit, ooffice), crashes on "save as". Each time i try to "save as" from a gnome application the application crashes with a segmentation fault.
Switching between languages I have found out that this appears ONLY if i use Romanian environment ro_RO.UTF-8 (selected as you log in the system) and does not appear if i switch back to English ( LANG=en_EN.UTF-8) or German. Every time i change back to English all works perfectly.
Also if you open a terminal and set the LANG env to "export LANG=ro_RO" , and start Firefox or whatsoever application and do a save as, the application will not crash anymore. If you use "export LANG=ro_RO.UTF-8" all save as from a gnome application will crash on any save as command.
