I have very strange problems with Firefox. Firefox crashes whenever I open certain pages, including about:support and Mozilla Support asking page! =-) If I run Firefox from ArchLinux console, after crash it writes:

Crash Annotation GraphicsCriticalError: |[0][GFX1-]: GLContext is disabled due to a previous crash.[GFX1-]: GLContext is disabled due to a previous crash.

Safe Mode temportary solves problem, but simple "clean" way - with disabled addons&plugins does not. How can I solve this?

" but simple "clean" way - with disabled addons" what does this mean? Are there any changes in about:config configurations that may be affecting the crashes? I am guessing here that it has to do with hardware acceleration since this is disabled in Safe Mode, but not in the new profile with no add ons you describe above.
