From: Zach on 8 Aug 2010 14:25 Just curious if anyone else has experienced this. I updated my 11.3 (64- bit) distro using Factory repository via YaST and now Firefox and T-Bird both crash everytime they're opened. Actually, T-Bird waits to crash until after I click on an email. I'm using Seamonkey to replace their functions which actually isn't such a bad thing; although it might not be as customizable as the others, it is faster and the integration seems to be working flawlessly so far. I assume FF and TB will probably be fixed in the next update but if it's something wrong on my end then maybe someone here can point to what the problem is and how to correct it. Thanks! Zach

I've got 3.6.8-1.3 running (x86_64) with no issues. This version is out of the "openSUSE BuildService-Mozilla" repo. I also have FF 4.0b running without issue. -- Eggheads unite!
