Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
After upgrading using Adept from Kubuntu 7.10 to Kubuntu 8.04 firefox would not start.
Clicking on the icon would cause an item in the pannel that would go away after a couple of minutes. ps -ef |grep firefox listed firefox as running but not so.
I removed .mozilla/firefox and tried again. No joy.
I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled firefox 3 Beta 5, no joy.
From the command line, after about 10 minutes, firefox will start but if anything is clicked it freezes.

Description: Ubuntu 8.04

I also have this problem. The Error Console in FF also provides this (after it finally loads):
"Failed to load XPCOM component: /usr/lib/ xulrunner- 1.9/components/ pyabout. pyo"
