Description of problem: /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.1/run-mozilla.sh is looking for a core file named "core", not "core.<proc-id>". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-1.5.0.1-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ulimit -c unlimited 2. DEBUG_CORE_FILES=1 firefox --safemode 3. Load http://simonbaird.com/mptw1/ 4. Click on Minesweep in left-side column Actual results: After core dumping, a new commandline prompt is reached. Expected results: <After core dump> Oh no! /usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.1/firefox-bin just dumped a core file. Do you want to debug this ? You need a lot of memory for this, so watch out ? [y/n] Additional info: The cause of this core dump has something with assign global variables in Javascript (see http://groups.google.com/group/TiddlyWiki, thread "FireFox 1.5.0.1 Dumps with Tiddlywiki 1.2.x"), but this isn't really relevant to this bug report (it happens on the windows version of firefox 1.5.0.1 too). I worked around this bug temporarily by inserting "mv core.* core" at line 168 of run-mozilla.sh.
We just updated the Firefox version in Fedora/development from 2.0 to a 3.0 pre-release version, which improves performance, memory usage, and fixes many bugs and crashes. Closing as CANTFIX since we aren't fixing bugs filed against 2.0 now that 3.0 is in. If this bug is still present in rawhide using a Firefox 3.0 version, please re-open this bug. Thanks and Happy Holidays
