So, I am not as doomed as I thought, but the situation isn't good.

My F8 > linux_base only has 2.6. What happened here is that the autoupdate brought me away from a firefox-2.x to a Firefox-3.x. After downgrading to the latest 2.x I can now run again, with linux_base-f8.

As far as I can tell, the Linuxulator in 7.2-stable is not up to running Firefox-3.5b<x>, and it seems to be from threading problems (hangs, no segfault), which are hard to debug. I should probably try a different Linux base than I have in this chroot (to shake versions of the glibc thread libs a bit). But since f8 won't do it I have to move someplace else here.
