RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Additional info:

Cases were just opened so we are waiting on logs. Will attach them here as soon as they are received.

I want to note that I am able to reproduce this issue on a RHEL 6.5 client with firefox 24.2.0-1.el6_5, it looks like a browser problem, not something in RHEV-M (how can a web page be responsible for crashing the whole browser?)

changed product to firefox since the whole browser crashes which cannot normally be caused by a web application.

For now downgrading back to firefox 17 can be used as a workaround:
# yum downgrade firefox

Tested with clean profile + safe mode (only tested with clean profile before). No crash in safe mode. In the mean time, the spice plug-in is not disabled in safe mode and works if I toggle a remote console. This is the only plugin installed. Info in "Help > Troubleshooting" is exactly the same for both safe and non-safe mode.

What else could I test?

Yes, we can reproduce it, thanks.
