Bug Report

Thanks for the bug report.  We have reviewed the information you have provided
above, and unfortunately the backtrace you have provided cannot be used in the
moment for diagnosis of your issue.

Please install firefox-debuginfo (debuginfo-install is from
yum-utils package).

	debuginfo-install firefox

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.

Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in
one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.

Also, please, could we get output of the command

	rpm -qa *xulrun* *firefox* *mozilla* *flash* *plugin*

Thank you

I am sorry but the backtrace in comment 1 is unfortunately totally useless for
us (it requires infrastructure which is used only for firefox builds from
mozilla.com). So, could you please really attach the information required in
comment 2? Does firefox still crashes for you?

hi,

i'll try to provide you with information you need as i suffered from the bug too. the problem disappeared when i installed libflashsupport.

however, without libflashsupport, when run from terminal (no debug now):

ALSA lib pcm_pulse.c:629:(pulse_prepare) PulseAudio: Unable to create stream: Invalid argument

ALSA lib pcm_pulse.c:629:(pulse_prepare) PulseAudio: Unable to create stream: Invalid argument

(a lot of these)

(Nie można przydzielić pamięci=can't allocate memory)

firefox: pulse.c:203: pulse_new: Warunek zapewnienia `p->context' nie został spełniony.

Yes, that's correct flash-plugin just doesn't work with PulseAudio without libflashsupport pacakge.

ok, but should FF crash then? it does not indicate that you need any additional package and can result in confusion and new users can become discouraged.
