There is no such occurrence in Ubuntu 7.04.
comment 1 is totally irrelevant -- Ubuntu has quite different browser. Could we stay with Fedora, please? Could you follow advice on http://kb.mozillazine.org/Getting_a_stacktrace_with_gdb and provide us a backtrace of when firefox crashes? Could you please attach it to this bug as uncompressed attachment to this report please? Thanks a lot
Created attachment 156166 [details] Core dumped when Firefox installed with Google Toolbar exits
Irrelevant perhaps,but both Ubuntu 7.04 and Fedora 7 use Firefox 2 as default web brower A little help maybe. That's the only case that I fail to use Google Toolbar in Firefox.
(no debugging symbols found) Using host libthread_db library "/lib/libthread_db.so.1". Core was generated by `/usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.3/firefox-bin -UILocale zh-CN'.

http://www.google.com/support/firefox/bin/answer.py?answer=53937 If you'd like to run the Google Toolbar for Firefox on a Linux platform, please make sure your system has glibc 2.3.5 or higher and libstdc++5. You also need to be running an x86 processor (PPC systems are not supported). Please note that the Toolbar is currently unavailable for Fedora Core 6. We also recommend using an official build of Mozilla Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org % rpm -ql libstdc++ /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.8 I wonder if this is because that requires a waaayy much older libstdc++ than what we ship... Does the following command help? yum install compat-libstdc++
Actually yum install compat-libstdc++-33
Thanks, it's done. On FC6,I happened to installed compat-stdc++ beforehand,so everything is OK. Fedora 7 is great,I'm so eager to taste Fedora 8!
Glad it works now. Thanks for the report.
