I tried ulimit -s 8000, but alas firefox still doesn't run. The process begins, but no window emerges and top(1) shows it as "parked". This is on 6.1.2 i386 with 384 MB ram. On the laptop (4 GB) firefox runs OK. I don't know if amount of ram is the problem, as seamonkey runs fine. I previously tried things like starting with no ~/.mozilla/firefox directory with much the same result.

My work-around is to use

Code:
[exec]   (Firefox) {ulimit -s 2048 ; /usr/pkg/bin/firefox -safe-mode}
in the ~/.fluxbox/menu file.
