i had this problem , i started in safe-mode and chose to disable addons . this made it start ok. i then closed it and restarted normally and it worked ok.
it then failed again and i did the same but checked the addon list and found that the web developer toolbar and split panel addons that i'm using where flag as not compatible , i disabled them and restarted and it all seems fine again. maybe a bug in the handing of incompatible addons ? -- In Ubuntu Lucid Beta 1, firefox crashes on start, triggering apport "eternal loop" of bug reporting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/543440 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
