Description of problem: When I open gmail (and maybe other sites as well) and click a link, in gmail to read a message, firefox dies. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-1.5.0.5-0.el4.1 How reproducible: every time I try to open a message in the gmail interface Steps to Reproduce: 1.login to gmail 2.click an e-mail to read 3.watch firefox vanish Actual results: Firefox unexpectedly dies Expected results: Firefox should open the link and render data as older versions did, and still do. Additional info: I have reverted to firefox version firefox-1.0.7-1.4.3, but firefox-1.0.8-1.4.1 still works as well.
I see this when opening http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise when running firefox-1.5.0.5-0.el4.1, but NOT when running firefox-1.5.0.5 from the firefox website, and I've been running 1.5 for quite a while, actually the version of firefox was 1.5.0.4 with firefox updating it to 1.5.0.5 on July 27 2006, so it wasn't firefox 1.5.0.5 directly downloaded from the firefox home page. In addition, it will fail at the same point on x86_64 arch as well as i386 arch. The x86_64, did start to send info on the crash but I don't think it completed it.
I too am getting constant crashes with firefox-1.5.0.5-0.el4.1. For example: http://www.google.ca/language_tools?hl=en This bug is so obvious I'm astounded it passed Q&A...
is this a possible dupe of bug #200627? do you have freetype-2.1.9-4.el4 installed?
Change status to RESOLVED, was related to the pango bug, which was related to freetype and is now fixed. -Scott
