bug buddy crash report for firefox none

Description Jonathan Kamens 2008-03-12 17:31:03 UTC 
firefox-3.0-0.38.cvs20080310.fc9.i386 from Rawhide.  All other packages are
up-to-date with Rawhide as well.

I was entering a new bug in Bugzilla with firefox, clicked on the "File to
Attach" input field and started typing the file name.  Firefox crashed.  Bug
buddy report is attached.

bug buddy crash report for firefox
Comment 2 Matěj Cepl 2008-03-12 20:59:25 UTC 
Thanks for the bug report.  We have reviewed the information you have provided
above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful
in our diagnosis of this issue. Unfortunately, the back trace which is generated
automatically is so far of not big use for us -- the upstream still doesn't have
ready the infrastructure for us to be able to do it. So, if you are able to
reproduce this, we have to stay with the old fashioned way.

Please install debuginfo packages; in order to do this you have to have
installed yum-utils and then run as a root

	debuginfo-install firefox xulrunner

Then run firefox with a parameter -g. That will start firefox running inside of
gdb debugger. Then use command run and do whatever you did to make firefox
crash. When it happens, you should go back to the gdb and run

	(gdb) thread apply all backtrace

This produces usually many screens of the text. Copy all of them into a text
editor and attach the file to the bug as an uncompressed attachment.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

Can't duplicate the issue.  Suppose you should close it.
