Problem occurs when running firefox as non-root. Going to www.debian.org causes
firefox to crash immediately and coredump. I have firefox.bin.core if required
(19mb). Other websites I have tried are OK. Mozilla does the same.

This machine was built by cloning the hard disk using dump|restore and another
supposedly identical machine does not exhibit this behaviour. This machine used
not to. The machines get used by a lot of different people but almost no-one
else has root access. I have pkg_deinstall'ed firefox and reinstalled from a
package I created when building the master hard disk from which this one was
cloned. I haven't cvsupped anything since building it.
