Comment 1 Martin Stransky 2009-04-06 06:25:19 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.

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.

Thanks in advance.

Hm, that's really strange. Do you use any extension? Can you try to run firefox in safe mode? (firefox -safe-mode)

Comment 5 Tony 2009-04-06 18:55:44 UTC
[xxxxx@yyyyy ~]$ firefox -safe-mode
/usr/lib64/firefox-3.0.8/run-mozilla.sh: line 131:  4208 Illegal instruction     "$prog" ${1+"$@"}
[xxxxx@yyyyyyy ~]$ su
Password: 
[root@yyyyy xxxxx]# firefox -safe-mode

(firefox:4267): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
None of the authentication protocols specified are supported.
/usr/lib64/firefox-3.0.8/run-mozilla.sh: line 131:  4267 Illegal instruction     "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

The only extensions I use are the web developer tool bar and Regex tester.

Is there anywhere I can get an earlier version 3 RPM so that I can get running again.

There is nothing to triage here.

Switching to ASSIGNED so that developers have responsibility to do whatever they want to do with it.

Comment 7 Martin Stransky 2009-05-06 07:06:06 UTC
Cau you please try to upgrade to firefox 3.0.10 and check it again? If it doesn't help I'll prepare a debug package for you.

Comment 8 Tony 2009-05-06 09:02:49 UTC
That upgrade works. Many thanks.

Comment 9 Martin Stransky 2009-05-06 09:13:25 UTC
Okay, thanks.
