Description of problem: The version of firefox bundled with Fedora 9 is extremely unstable, and crashes every few minutes for me as follows: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. js_Invoke (cx=0x7f67a518a480, argc=0, vp=0x7f67a3820310, flags=2) at jsinterp.c:1096 It can take a little while to provoke this crash, but to date my longest browsing session has lasted perhaps 15 minutes. I know that in some sense this isn't your fault because you didn't develop the Firefox beta, but really, whoever decided to bundle such a crappy codebase with a major distro upgrade needs some help making wiser decisions. Packaging a useless version of the single most important desktop app was the sort of decision one might easily anticipate leading to, shall we say, less than complete user satisfaction. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-3.0-0.60.beta5.fc9.x86_64 xulrunner-1.9-0.60.beta5.fc9.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Browse to a web site that uses Javascript. I'm trying to buy computer parts at http://www.centralcomputer.com/ for example. 2. Click around to different web pages for a few minutes. 3. Crash! Actual results: An unusable web browser. Expected results: A stable web browser. Additional info: I have a few Firefox addons installed: Delicious Bookmarks Firebug Greasemonkey YSlow
Created attachment 305997 [details] Backtrace, courtesy of gdb I've attached the backtrace that seems to occur most frequently.
There are several other crashes in Javascript-related code. I can keep piling them up here, if they might seem useful.
Changing status to ASSIGNED Cheers, Balaji
Are you able to reproduce this bug while running firefox with -safe-mode parameter?
I haven't been able to reproduce the problem since I upgraded to FF3 final.
Thanks for the info, closing.
