You have been subscribed to a public bug: Binary package hint: firefox
I recently installed Ubuntu 6.10 in place of Debian 3.1 in the hope of ending its frequent crashes (see Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=393650), but Firefox is still randomly closing or hanging; sometimes, but not always, it then crashes again on attempting to restart it. I copied my bookmarks and cookies, but nothing else, from my old Firefox profile, and have no extensions beyond the default Ubuntu Firefox. JavaScript and Java are off. Connection is via college network. The crash typically occurs once every few hours, with no pattern yet found of what triggers it, and the traces can point to a lot of different places; apart from the one included, I've had jsInterp.c (no details because it took the gdb terminal down with it before the whole trace appeared), SIGSEGV at 0xb4988dcb in ?? () from /usr/lib/firefox/components/libhtmlpars.so, SIGPIPE in a __kernel_vsyscall () <- send () <- 0xb7e62a03 in pt_Send (parameters removed by me as I was on a secure site at the time) at ptio.c:1902, and SIGSEGV at (no address) InsertPropertyTreeChild (removed) at jsscope.c:580. Because of this wide variation I do not know if this is related to the existing Firefox random crashers #24728 and #48772. It is possible that the cause is outside Firefox (I run a commercial on-access antivirus which doesn't officially support Ubuntu (http://www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/4377.html) and keep getting "couldn't create backup" warnings when saving files in gedit; I am awaiting a response from them as to whether this could be the problem). Memory test (Debian memtest86+) was OK but could it be some other hardware problem? The crash traced below happened while viewing http://www.fortunecity.com/business/director/1255/31xxxtech.html as the only tab in that window; a second window with 3 tabs also went down. Firefox then restarted normally but Bug Buddy then reported a "crash" in CD/DVD Creator (which wasn't open) as http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395406 Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
