>Description:
Firefox crashes when I press Print Preview, core generated.

pid 802 (firefox-bin), uid 0: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)

Problem persists when I:
 - Install port www/firefox or www/firefox15 instead of firefox* package
   (firefox-devel not tested)
 - Make a clean reinstall of the system, X and Firefox, using packages only,
   no ports
 - Use other computer
 - boot from /boot1 directory containing the copy of working FreeBSD 6.2 kernel
 - root or unprivileged login

I believe the problem is somewhere in libraries.

>How-To-Repeat:
Reinstall FreeBSD 6.3 from disc 1 in "kern-developer" config, no ports, linux enabled
Copy packages/All from all 3 discs to work-dir
Install X.org and Firefox from work-dir using pkg_add
You may add Midnight Commander for convenience.
You may configure X.org but I tried to start X without it - result is the same
startx
start firefox
press File-Print Preview

>Fix:
Use FreeBSD 6.2 - no other ideas.
