On Arch Linux, when using Firefox 14 Beta 10 from the AUR (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=38753) it crashes instantly on startup, even in safe mode. Firefox 13 works perfectly. Compare latest AUR comment ("after latest glibc/binutils/gcc-libs upgrade").

Do all loaded libraries show as the required version to the Help > Troubleshooting Information page?

You can also check the NSS package.

Firefox crashes literally instantly - with no other window opening aside from the crash reporter. So I can't access the troubleshooting information page.

I am not sure as to what I should check with the nss package. Its version is 3.13.5 and it seems to be installed correctly. Also, Thunderbird runs just fine, if that is any help.

Neither the latest gcc-libs update nor the firefox update to Beta 11 have changed the situation.
