Occurred on close of Firefox after normal browsing session.  No plugins installed.

same here, and I continue to experience these problems 

xulrunner-26.0-1.fc19.x86_64
firefox-26.0-2.fc19.x86_64

Are they supposed to have the same version/release numbers? Or should xulrunner be uninstalled if it comes "bundled" with the firefox package? I'm not sure about that.

I have to mention that I do have a "local" version of Aurora in my Home directory, if other cases have the same issue as well as a local Aurora release, it might be worth looking into that as a possible conflict; otherwise, it has nothing to do with it. :p

This is an automated bug update. If you can reproduce the bug, please reopen and remove the [abrt] string from subject.

Thanks!

Crash occurs for me most times I close Firefox, whether browsing for a short or long period of time.  I have no plugins installed.

See also bug #1048552, which happens to me when using a VM.

I'm getting this every time I try to launch Firefox.

Another user experienced a similar problem:

This crash happened on starting Firefox right after 1045788 happened (separate restart). Those two bugs might be related.

This bug never occured to me before.

This occurred to me at exit using 

firefox-28.0-3.fc20.x86_64
kernel-3.13.9-200.fc20.x86_64

It doesn't appear to be easily reproducible.

Hi guys,

I think I've found an easy way to reproduce the problem: run firefox with trickle, and the crash I almost certain!

For example:
trickle -s -d 2000 -u 180 firefox

Can anybody test and see if that triggers the bug?

Bests,
Diego

[edouard@EDStation]~% trickle -s -d 2000 -u 180 firefox
(process:6031): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion 'sys_page_size == 0' failed

firefox does launch up and is running flawlessly though.

Fedora 20 up to date, x86_64.

Try opening "www.speedtest.net". It always crashes for me in that situation.

It might be a flash plugin problem. Firefox used to crash everytime I visit a website with flash element.

Re-install the flash-plugin from ADOBE didn't work, deleting personal files did not work. Don't know why.

Strangely when I re-install Fedora 20, the problem is no more.

Can you please attach a backtrace of the crash? (If you still see it). How-to is at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Debugging_guidelines_for_Mozilla_products#Application_crash

Is ABRT not working on the system?

Yes ABRT is running on the system.  That was how I reported the issue.

Then I wonder why a backtrace is requested.  That's what ABRT generates.

not on my machine, either using firefox or the command line you suggested

Looks like this problem is not more with new new FF/flash versions.

Fedora 21 doesn't have this problem.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
