Firefox 3.6 doesn't want to start.
cha0s
I've recently updated my Arch Linux, and I got Firefox 3.6. Now, for
some reason when I run a profile with greasemonkey, when I close
firefox not only does it never close, but if I 'killall' it, it won't
restart.
If I then start that profile with -safe-mode and then close it, I can
once again start my profile with greasemonkey enabled.
I have narrowed it down to greasemonkey through process of
elimination. Can I provide any more information about this or
anything? Thanks for reading and I hope we can get this resolved soon!

experiencing this problem as soon as I upgraded to Firefox 3.6.
Coming off a fresh new Firefox profile, if I have the Greasemonkey
extension enabled, when I quit Firefox and try to restart, it simply
dies. I start up with -ProfileManager, so it dies as soon as I select
that same profile. It doesn't matter if Firefox crashed or exited
normally.
To get Firefox working again, I have to go into my profile's
extensions directory (e.g. ~/.mozilla/firefox/abcd123.default/
extensions) and move/delete the greasemonkey folder. I can move the
folder out, restart firefox (into the same profile), quit firefox,
move the folder back into the extensions folder, and I get another go.
However, having to do this whenever firefox quits/crashes is
infeasible. I will be reverting to a version of 3.5.
Firefox version:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2) Gecko/20100115
Firefox/3.6
Greasemonkey version: 0.8.20100211.5
No scripts on page.

ubuntuzilla, currently I have firefox 3.6.3
The problem occured already a few months ago, i have made a few FF
updates since then but it won't go away, I tried with a fresh profile,
nothing helps. The symptoms are exactly as you describe.
The same problem with the exact same symptoms also exists for the
stylish extension. Currently I have them both installed but disabled
and am waiting for updates to try it again.

> Exact same problem here. I am running Kubuntu 9.10
Sorry, I meant 8.04, this ubuntu version i am using is older than i
thought.

my whole profile folder is a symlink into a truecrypt volume. maybe
there is the reason.
