I guess you are using Firefox 3.0 and Thunderbird 1.5. The reason for the problem is a version conflict of a library used by Firefox and Thunderbird. If Thunderbird starts Firefox it uses its own LD_LIBRARY_PATH settings which result in a wrong library version for Firefox. Thunderbird uses a script to start Firefox: /usr/lib/thunderbird-1.5.0.12/open-browser.sh A solution is to change LD_LIBRARY_PATH at the beginning of this script in order to have Firefox to look at the correct place for its library: #!/bin/bash export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH ## Copyright (C) 2004 Warren Togami <wtogami@redha.... ...
