[Bug 282287] Re: [intrepid] firefox crashes frequently on Intrepid with SIGABRT
Daniel, I've been working without a crash for the last few hours (it means a lot, FF crashed every 5 minutes). The thing that I changed were these 2 things: 1) Upgrade my manually installed nvidia driver to 180.22 stable (from 180.20 beta). I don't think it's related but you never know. 2) Uninstalled the Adobe flash player version 10. (sudo apt-get remove adobe-flashplugin) Doing that I found out that there was a second version 9 still installed in ~/.mozilla. I noticed flash kept working in FF with version 9. I then manually removed the plugins in ~/.mozilla/plugins. Re-started FF. Then I re-installed the Adobe flash player version 10 and restarted FF again. Fingers crossed but so far so good.Mark, sorry about the spam. -- [intrepid] firefox crashes frequently on Intrepid with SIGABRT https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/282287 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 282287] Re: [intrepid] firefox crashes frequently on Intrepid with SIGABRT
I'm affected by this on a fresh install of 64-bit ubuntu. From extensive Googling, I believe that the problem is related to adding WINS into your /etc/nsswitch.conf file. I found that last night and removed the entry. I did not have another FF crash since, but have not tried the Link of Death provided above, or used it for a long period to be sure that is the cause. There seem to be a few bugs raised for this issue. For me (and probably for many others), the main problem was finding what was actually happening, because FF just exits and says Aborted. in the console. Just searching for linux firefox aborted doesn't yield much of a response. I will be doing more testing when I get home from work -- am stuck on a legacy OS at the moment.

I can confirm that the Link of Death works correctly.
