Have an additional reference point - the F13 Firefox (3.6.3) works OK on my sheeva plug (remote X output).

The crashing is on the Toshiba AC100. So it is possible that the crashing is related to something specific on the AC100 setup, possibly it's broken audio drivers causing some weird interraction with pulseaudio, as per the error message in the previous attachment.

We have another ARM bug in bug 670349 but this looks distinctive enough, that we filed this bug in the upstream database (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636751) and believe that it is more appropriate to let it be resolved upstream.

We will continue to track the issue in the centralized upstream bug tracker, and will review any bug fixes that become available for consideration in future updates.

We would strongly encourage you to subscribe to the upstream bug as well (by logging in and adding yourself to the Cc list), so that you can provide whatever information required for the successful resolving of this issue.

Thank you for helping to make free software better.
