Can you please install debuginfo packages and attach backtrace from gdb? (run 'firefox -g -d gdb') 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. First of all, could we get output of the command rpm -qa *xulrun* *firefox* *mozilla* *flash* *plugin* Please also 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.

ddd/gdb backtrace of firefox
Hm, it crashes somewhere in glib/gtk...when did the bug appear? Almost certainly GTK+ issue. Reassigning. (In reply to comment #5) > Hm, it crashes somewhere in glib/gtk...when did the bug appear? When starting firefox- sometimes even window border appear- but usually nothin' happens on screen If you call g_object_ref on something thats not a valid GObject, that is hardly gtks fault. global_menu_gtk_changed_eh is not a gtk function. Sounds more like a broken extension/plugin to me... global_menu_gtk_changed_eh doesn't come from firefox...can you try to run firefox in safe mode? (firefox -safe-mode) This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Hi
I also get the same error message.
firefox -safemode
/usr/lib64/firefox-3.5.2/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 7090 Segmentation fault
"$prog" ${1+"$@"}
uname -a
Linux tux 2.6.29.6-217.2.7.fc11.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Aug 14 20:53:08 EDT 2
009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
rpm -q firefox
firefox-3.5.2-2.fc11.x86_64
All other updates applied.
How to reproduce this error message:
firefox -safemode # about:plugins confirms no installed plugins.
and select any of the menus in firefox, eg: File, Edit or View etc.
This is when firefox segfaults.
Now for the spooky part.
From another Linux machine (sorry, but in my case:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.13) Gecko/2009080316 Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy) Firefox/3.0.13), while I'm filling out this bug report, do the following:
open a terminal session
ssh -X tux # ssh to fedora 11 system
firefox # It appears as though I'm running firefox binary from my ubuntu system.
Honestly, I thought I was going mad and checked and reran with the same results.
Thanks.
FYI thunderbird segfaults in the same way. Select any of the menus in thunderbird, eg: File, Edit or View etc. This is when thunderbird segfaults. thunderbird-3.0-2.6.b3.fc11.x86_64 Regards. (In reply to comment #12) > ssh -X tux # ssh to fedora 11 system > firefox # It appears as though I'm running firefox binary from my ubuntu > system. > > Honestly, I thought I was going mad and checked and reran with the same > results. You have to run firefox -no-remote otherwise firefox will find out (even through ssh) that you have already firefox session going on and switches to it. So, yes, you *were* running Ubuntu binary (if you had firefox already opened on Ubuntu). and it should be firefox -safe-mode (note, additional dash) about:plugins is not sufficient, because you can have still some addons (extensions) running. So, yes, please, try again with -safe-mode. Thank you 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. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers problem solved, problem was with gnome2-globalmenu, disabling mac style global menu helped Uosiu, thank you for your time and effort in discovering and reporting this bug, as well as your efforts after.
