Desktop Firefox crashes during startup, and no Crash Report is formed
Hi all. No idea what happened, but my browser simply started crashing today.
Here I have its gdb backtrace. As you can see, it crashes right inside of its own crash-reporter (google-breakpad):
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00007ffff2ad17bf in __static_initialization_and_destruction_0 (__initialize_p=1, __priority=65535)

This is version 28.0+build2-0ubuntu2. Profile reset has no effect.

OK, apparently something has been broken with my Software Center. Version 28.0 is pretty old, after all.
So I just launched Update Manager and updated everything to 14.04.1.
Now Firefox runs and displays 32.0 in its "About" dialog.
