Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox
I hate to report such an unusual bug, but it's happened numerous times now, and I can't seem to get a better understanding on why it's failing. So... DOES: 0) From cli, start firefox (version 3.0) 1) Wait (typically overnight, though I still don't know why "overnight" has any value... maybe wait a very long time is better? 2) Note that Firefox is no longer running Reviewing the cli output, here's what I see: cairo context error: NULL pointer cairo context error: NULL pointer cairo context error: NULL pointer (firefox:16660): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_draw_image: assertion `GDK_IS_GC (gc)' failed (firefox:16660): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed (firefox:16660): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_draw_image: assertion `GDK_IS_GC (gc)' failed (firefox:16660): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed ** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1) ** Message: GetValue variable 2 (2) ** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1) ** Message: GetValue variable 2 (2) ** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1) ** Message: GetValue variable 2 (2) ** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1) ** Message: GetValue variable 2 (2) ** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1) ** Message: GetValue variable 2 (2) ** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1) ** Message: GetValue variable 2 (2) GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0x805f138: NP_GetMIMEDescription GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0x805f138: NP_GetMIMEDescription return GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0x805f138: NP_GetValue GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0x805f138: NP_GetValue: returning plugin name.

Note that this last message is what appears to show up when Firefox officially dies. I believe the preceding messages are generated during normal Firefox operation. SHOULD: 0) Firefox should not crash I currently have the following add-ons installed in Firefox: --FireFTP 0.99.1 --AdBlock Plus 0.7.5.5 --Ubuntu Firefox Modifications 0.5 --URL Link 2.02.2 --Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer 2.0.47.4 To limit the potential causes of this bug, I will begin removing add-ons one-by-one to see if I can still repro this bug. ** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Firefox Crashes During the Night(?) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/243520 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
