comment: setroubleshooter claimed that the problem may have been due to a plugin trying to do write/execute access to malloc'd memory, but I'm not sure which plugin might have caused this

Just trying to start firefox, with all plugins disabled and nspluginwrapper installed, and yet selinux halts the process and says it may be a plugin trying to change malloc()d memory to be executable.

This is a basic installation of Fedora Rawhide (yum update from F13). No additional plugins installed in Firefox.

It seems to be: setting selinux to permissive and firefox starts normally.
Comment 6 Bug Zapper 2010-07-30 12:18:33 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle.
Changing version to '14'.

Comment 9 Martin Stransky 2011-12-07 13:09:18 UTC 
We're using mozilla crash reporter now, ABRT is no more used for Firefox/Thunderbird. If you can reliably reproduce the crash (you have a testcase, reproduction steps, etc.) please reopen the bug and attach the reproduction info and assign it directly to me (stransky).

Thanks!
