Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.5.3-2
Severity: important
I am used to iceweasel crashing often (at least once a day). After the last
upgrade however, it crashes about once every two minutes. This is getting
too much.
When I try to restart iceweasel after a crash, it now displays a screen
beginning with the text
"Well, this is embarrassing.
Iceweasel is having trouble recovering your windows and tabs. This is
usually caused by a recently opened web page."
Not very helpful, that. At least it could say which web page caused the
crash. And anyway a good program should ignore bad input, not crash because
of it. I cannot reproduce the crashes. They seem random. To me, the program
has become unusable.
~/.xsession-errors says after each crash:
(firefox-bin:13308): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid unclassed pointer in
cast to `GtkObject'
