This is likely a bug with dbus. Before you submit a bug report to the |
| 64 |
dbus people, I'd try to eliminate certain factors. First, some library |
| 65 |
that dbus depends on might have been upgraded, causing dbus to work |
| 66 |
improperly. Second, perhaps its some bug that has appeared with |
| 67 |
firefox3 and not in firefox2 (correct me if I understood you wrong: |
| 68 |
attaching a file anywhere in the system makes firefox3 crash). |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
To eliminate the first factor do: emerge -e world. This will rebuild |
| 71 |
all of the packages on your system in the correct order. The second |
| 72 |
factor can be eliminated by downgrading to firefox2. If it is a |
| 73 |
firefox3 problem then the bug report would go to firefox developers. |
