Firefox is so intelligent, after I decide to quit it, and emerged opera, it works as good as usual. What a ... program !

(1) before yesterday, firefox works perfect!
(2) today, after install nfs and a font, weird things appears.

when as a general account browse through tor and privoxy with firefox, firefox die IMMEDIATELY

I can suggest stuff that may or may not help.
One thing would be reinstall firefox, i assume you used emerge for firefox, so emerge morzilla-firefox (if i remember correctly)
or download firefox from the mozilla website,
create a folder 'firefox' in /usr/local/
untar the file into ./firefox folder.
then go into the firefox folder and type ./firefox.

So bascally:
mkdir /usr/local/firefox
cd /usr/local/firefox
tar xzvf ~/firefox*.tar.gz (Assuming its saved in ~)
./firefox
^ that probaly makese more sense.

i hv reinstall mozilla-firefox before, but the error came out again. maybe the best way is to download the firefox directly from mozilla websit and compile installit directly.
