Description of problem: When reporting firefox crashes, libreport tends to mark unrelated bugs as duplicates of bug #1308650. This is clear since the original bug is fixed but libreport keeps marking other crashes as duplicates of this one. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-45.0.2-4.fc24.x86_64 abrt-2.8.0-5.fc24.x86_64 libreport-2.7.0-1.fc24.x86_64 How reproducible: often (~80% of all firefox crashes) Steps to Reproduce: 1. report any firefox crash Actual results: crash is marked as duplicate of bug #1308650 Expected results: Not all crashes in firefox are duplicates of bug #1308650, so they should not be marked as duplicate. Additional info: Firefox recently started using abrt/libreport, previously had its own bug reporting assistant. This was disabled on fedora. This might be the reason this bug didn't occur earlier. When reporting bugs in firefox, analyze_CCpp very often has to reduce the backtrace depth due to its enormous size. From event_log: Backtrace is too big (419879 bytes), reducing depth to 512 Backtrace is too big (423975 bytes), reducing depth to 256 Backtrace is too big (423975 bytes), reducing depth to 128 Backtrace is too big (449925 bytes), reducing depth to 64 A possible fix might be for abrt to handle big backtraces more elegantly, not by reducing them to just ~10 stackframes.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
