Mozilla crashes on brand new Fedora

[Phil Schaffner]

Thought I sent this earlier, but an evolution crash may have sent it to
the bit-bucket...

Have had problems in the past with mozilla and firebird plugins that
were build against different glibc versions - particularly java.

Check your /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins and /usr/lib/mozilla-1.6/plugins
directories.

Adding a development series kernel and modutils to the mix makes it no
longer stock.  Do you have the problems with a stock Fedora Core 1
kernel?

Perhaps some of the other packages need to be upgraded as well?
(http://people.redhat.com/arjanv/2.6/RPMS.kernel/)

I also tried to go down the path of upgrading FC1 with 2.6.1 and other
development packages and ended up with an unstable mess.  A clean
install of development test1 (or Fedora 1.90) did away with a lot of the
problems.
