Package: iceweasel

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'

Is it more stable with version 3.5.6 (and xulrunner-1.9.1 1.9.1.6-1) ?

Mike

It is. Even version 3.5.5. And I no longer see this embarrassing "Embarrassing" message.

Sorry I forgot to tell you. For a while I downgraded Firefox (and avoided upgrading it), but about 2 weeks ago I did upgrade it, and it seems perfectly stable now.

Regards, Jan
