I also have these crashes, most often it's when I haven't used Firefox for a couple of minutes. I haven't tried to run it from a Terminal yet so I can't verify that my error is the same.

Hopefully someone can help us with this...

If you create a new user, then log in as that user, does the same thing happen with the new user?

i deleted /home/jaffar/.mozilla

but i don't know if this will fix my problem or not because this problem is appearing randomly and not always .

Did you install Edgy clean or did you upgrade from Dapper? Also, if you did upgrade, what method did you use?

Happens to me too in Edgy with Firefox 2.0.0.1.

It has happened even after a fresh install.

i've got the same error, and in my case it seems to be caused by vlc, when trying to open some quicktime mov media url's.
i'm using virefox 2.0.0.3 and vlc 0.8.6b.

I'm getting the same problem while trying to run a Python script that has nothing to do with Firefox:

Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-open.c: 603: _dl_open: Assertion `_dl_debug_initialize (0, args.nsid)->r_state == RT_CONSISTENT' failed!

I wonder if this is a really low level problem.

Run ldconfig as root thenb run you're application ;)

Put ldconfig in a startup script at boot time in rc.d or init.d depending on you're linux flavour for runlevel 5.
Make a ldconfig file in /etc/rc.d/ folder, chmod +x it, and write in it something simple like
case "$1" in
start)
ldconfig
;;
*)
exit 0
;;
esac.
theb symlink it in you're runlevel 5 scripts folder to start as soon as posible.

Can you help with this problem?
