[Bug 117078] Re: firefox crashed
... sad to hear that. Could it be a hardware problem? ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Assignee: Hilario J. Montoliu (hjmf) = Mozilla Bugs ** Summary changed: - firefox crashed + firefox freezes ** Description changed: - ... Firefox freezing Ubuntu forcing reboot I've just had Firefox freezing Ubuntu x10 in a row! The whole system locks up and is unresponsive.. mouse cursor is frozen and keyboard unresponsive.. I guess the windows manager crashes. I've seen other more specific bug reports but I can't relate to them. The only unique thing I have here is AMD64 and maybe that I click links before pages are fully loaded. There's no obvious consistency is the cause or timing.. though it's always just as a link is clicked. Twice was at gnome-look.org wallpapers, resorting by most downloaded but this has happened often on other sites.. rebooting and returning in the same way to the same page doesn't freeze up. This last hour the most frequently by far. Last time was clicking the registration link from the email from this site.. almost put me off. I'm new to Linux so don't know the best way to capture useful data on this. Java not running, Javascript is enabled and certainly the sites it happens on are the type to use it and the links that cause it may well be javascripted (guess). Serious bug.. I'll look for another browser till it's fixed.. ** Tags added: mt-needtestcase ** Tags removed: mt-needreport -- firefox freezes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117078 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 117078] Re: firefox crashed
jinxed.. doh From force of habit I used Firefox again and it crashed leaving grub corrupt! That Ubuntu's grub reinstall isn't simple meant I just had to completely reinstall Ubuntu.. that is fresh /, /usr, swap, /tmp, /var. I've now reinstalled all packages and settings so am back to where I was. I thought that would kill it but the bug remains! So having determined it's not the Mozilla profile and not the Ubuntu install, what next? -- firefox crashed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117078 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

El lun, 28-05-2007 a las 21:27 +, davidpbrown escribió: strace attached.. Thank you for your quick feedback. Would you mind to try to reproduce this issue with a fresh profile? e.g. back up your old profile as: mv /home/davidpbrown/.mozilla /home/davidpbrown/OLD_MOZILLA_DIR then start firefox and see if the freeze happens again. If you want later to restore your old settings do: rm -fr /home/davidpbrown/.mozilla mv /home/davidpbrown/OLD_MOZILLA_DIR /home/davidpbrown/.mozilla -- firefox crashed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117078 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 117078] Re: firefox crashed
Done with no change - it still freezes up. Incidentally the side affect of so many hard reboots is naturally a fair number of fsck errors including some manual ones - bit scary for a noob to walk through :) I wonder if reinstalling firefox might work.. won't do it till you suggest but am surprised that Ubuntu can be frozen, however it's being done. -- firefox crashed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117078 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 117078] Re: firefox crashed
I've just found that the frozen state is retained if you reboot and on Firefox open Restore Session rather than starting new one, it jumps back into the frozen state as if reboot never happened. Might help running tests on what that retained state is?? -- firefox crashed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117078 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 117078] Re: firefox crashed
Davidpbrown thank you for your feedback, Maybe an strace might help to show some light (I'm not able to reproduce it). Would you please start firefox as always, and from an xterm run: ~$ strace -p $(pidof firefox-bin) 21 | tee strace.out then force the freeze and upload the resulting strace.out file to [1]?

[Bug 117078] Re: firefox crashed
Thanks Hilario There is no crash report in /var/crash and I have only NoScript as an addon. However, trying again, I have reproduced this now three times today but as before with a slight inconsistency. It seems to occur when a page change is requested from a partly downloaded page. Reproduced here by going to Google search Ubuntu themes + choose the Wallpapers from the list http://www.gnome-look.org/index.php?xcontentmode=170x171x172x173x174 then either before that page has fully loaded switch to Most downloads or click another tab and then change tab before half way through the page load. Mouse cursor will still move but unresponsive.. moving off the Firefox browser doesn't fall back to another window, as above, keyboard unresponsive to shutdown quits etc. I had to clear cache to reproduce the third time.. If there is a about:command or other firefox diagnostic and logs that might help, let me know. -- firefox crashed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117078 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
