It seems like there are some image files missing. But in another Kubuntu 8.04.1 LTS computer Firefox 
is working and the same files are missing. Very strange...

I tried again to completely remove firefox and all its configuration files and also ~/.mozilla 
folder but it didn't help :(

Then after some time (which can be some minutes) Firefox will start and after working some minutes 
Firefox crashes and I have to kill the process.

Google doesn't know nothing about that problem :(   I'm really stuck...
