Firefox 6 crashes when accessing bookmarks menu.
Gentoo/Linux/GNU
Firefox crashes when accessing bookmarks or history via tool bar. Becomes unresponsive and must be killed.
This is a new install, there was no previous firefox install before 6 was installed.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Firefox Crashes
Check and tell if its working.
Still happens in safe mode.
Get help fixing this crash
Sadly there isn't a crash report as firefox doesn't realise its crashed.
Is there someway of "forcing" the crash report to grab the info even if firefox is still "running normally" ?

השתנתה ב־ על־ידי cor-el
I cleared ~/.Mozilla/firefox/profile/<something>
Restarted firefox - resynced.
After all this was said and done it was working again - and I recalled the first time I did the sync firefox actually crashed - I'm guessing the crash effected the sqlite db.
Is now fixed.
Many Thanks.
