I have the same problem, essentially with JS Test Driver trying to close Firefox (I assume using SIGTERM). Sometimes when JS Test Driver tries to restart the browser, the This is embarrassing dialog pops up and JS Test Driver is unable to capture the browser to run unit tests. I see this problem on my Mac and we think we see this problem when we try to run headlessly in a Solaris environment using XVFB. Any word on when this might be fixed? It sounds like there is already a potential patch for it.

(Original Report: I've reproduced it once on my machine with the following steps. With, oh, about 5 tabs open, I just pressed ctrl-alt-backspace, logged back in when the X server restarted, and FF crashed with a bug report when Gnome tried to restore the session. It's not terribly important, I don't think anyone does this very often, but maybe it'll be helpful. ) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/73536/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
