Rest assured that nothing has been destroyed or made more complicated.
Your assumption is wholly unwarranted, and the way you put it (rather
accusatory, though that might come from what looks like resorting to
machine translation of the original French :) doesn't incite replies.

If you compiled sylpheed 2.4.7 yourself something must have gone awry,
causing the segmentation faults. Alternatively, your machine has a
hardware problem (signal 11 is often a sign of memory problems). 

If you are using a distribution, either try and re-install sylpheed, or
compile it yourself. Sylpheed compiles without problems (and but a few
warnings) on modern Linux distributions (as well as on Solaris).

The reason why you don't manage to launch firefox is that your command
line is incorrect. Firefox is usually called simply "firefox". This is
easily verified by typing "mozilla-firefox" in a shell window. You
should get a message to the extend that the program cannot be found.
Then try with "firefox". 

Take care,
