Just starting looking at fennec again after all the other browsers I've tried don't seem to load pages well (I'm open to suggestions though), and I too was getting crashes after fennec would open after about 5 sec ... which was the "Segmentation fault" error.

I have found however that when I start fennec 17 from the command line as root, the program doesn't crash. It works as expected. I don't know if this is a bad idea or not. But great for those time when you need to check a site and microbrowser doesn't load them.

Update:
For some reason it seems that it's no longer crashing after launching from Hilton regular app icon ... hmm strange.

I've only changed the following:
disable all addons
change startpage to blank page
turnoff don't trackme
turnoff master password
I also changed the UI via about:config to use the older simpler toolbar. "browser.chrome.toolbar_style" from 2 to 1
I think that was it. These don't carry between root and regular user though.

Also I'm running cssu (aren't we all at this point ..lol)

Removing fennec ...
dpkg: error processing fennec (--purge):
 subprocess pre-removal script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 fennec

Edit: Reading thru the prerm, its simply ensuring fennec is killed; i did a check again and there isn't any fennec process running but still the removal fails with the same error as above. Please let me know if there is any other log to look at. Running C-thumb here so that shouldn't be an issue. Thanks!
