Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. First of all, could we get output of the command rpm -qa *xulrun* *firefox* *mozilla* *flash* *plugin* Please also install firefox-debuginfo (debuginfo-install is from yum-utils package). debuginfo-install firefox When these crashes happen, does abrt collect backtrace? Have not you filed these backtraces to our Bugzilla already? We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
-bash-4.0$ rpm -qa *xulrun* *firefox* *mozilla* *flash* *plugin* mozilla-vlc-1.0.3-1.fc12.i686 firefox-3.6.1-0.2.b3.fc13.i686 mozilla-filesystem-1.9-5.fc12.i686 xulrunner-1.9.2.1-0.2.b3.fc13.i686 xulrunner-devel-1.9.2.1-0.2.b3.fc13.i686 I don't believe I have abrt running right now. I won't be at that machine again until tonight. I'll look at getting more information late tonight or tomorrow.
I actually had something with 'plugin' in the name in the directory I ran the suggested command from. So that it didn't run as expected. If that is a form message, you might want to add quoting to it. Anyway here is output that makes more sense: -bash-4.0$ rpm -qa '*xulrun*' '*firefox*' '*mozilla*' '*flash*' '*plugin*' plymouth-plugin-fade-throbber-0.8.0-0.2009.29.09.19.fc12.i686 audacious-plugins-freeworld-wma-2.1-1.fc12.i686 xfce4-smartbookmark-plugin-0.4.2-10.fc12.i686 xfce4-time-out-plugin-0.1.1-4.fc12.i686 audacious-plugins-2.2-0.4.beta2.fc13.i686 gstreamer-plugins-flumpegdemux-0.10.15-8.fc13.i686 alsa-plugins-vdownmix-1.0.21-2.fc12.i686 PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin-0.5.3-1.fc13.i686 yum-plugin-priorities-1.1.24-2.fc13.noarch xfce4-fsguard-plugin-0.4.2-4.fc12.i686 alsa-plugins-usbstream-1.0.21-2.fc12.i686 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.21-2.fc12.i686 mozilla-vlc-1.0.3-1.fc12.i686 PackageKit-yum-plugin-0.5.3-1.fc13.i686 setroubleshoot-plugins-2.1.32-1.fc13.noarch xine-plugin-1.0.2-3.fc12.i686 gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.25-5.fc13.i686 yum-plugin-upgrade-helper-1.1.24-2.fc13.noarch audacious-plugins-freeworld-tta-2.1-1.fc12.i686 alsa-plugins-upmix-1.0.21-2.fc12.i686 yum-plugin-remove-with-leaves-1.1.24-2.fc13.noarch xfce4-websearch-plugin-0.1.1-0.12.20070428svn2704.fc12.i686 firefox-3.6.1-0.2.b3.fc13.i686 xfce4-sensors-plugin-0.10.99.6-5.fc12.i686 xfce4-mpc-plugin-0.3.4-1.fc13.i686 gstreamer-plugins-bad-extras-0.10.16-1.fc12.i686 abrt-plugin-kerneloopsreporter-0.0.11-2.fc12.i686 yum-plugin-versionlock-1.1.24-2.fc13.noarch mythplugins-0.22-1.fc12.i686 allegro-esound-plugin-4.2.3-1.fc13.i686 xfce4-systemload-plugin-0.4.2-8.fc12.i686 yum-plugin-merge-conf-1.1.24-2.fc13.noarch konq-plugins-4.3.3-2.fc13.i686 xfce4-notes-plugin-1.7.1-1.fc12.i686 alsa-plugins-samplerate-1.0.21-2.fc12.i686 xfce4-eyes-plugin-4.4.0-7.fc12.i686 xfce4-clipman-plugin-1.1.3-1.fc13.i686 xfce4-xfapplet-plugin-0.1.0-9.fc12.i686 xfce4-netload-plugin-0.4.0-12.fc12.i686 thunar-media-tags-plugin-0.1.2-7.fc12.i686 xfce4-wavelan-plugin-0.5.5-2.fc12.i686 xfce4-cpugraph-plugin-0.4.0-6.fc12.i686 audacious-plugins-freeworld-2.1-1.fc12.i686 xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin-1.9.4-7.fc12.i686 alsa-plugins-jack-1.0.21-2.fc12.i686 totem-mozplugin-2.28.2-1.fc13.i686 kipi-plugins-0.8.0-1.fc12.i686 abrt-plugin-sqlite3-0.0.11-2.fc12.i686 audacious-plugins-freeworld-mp3-2.1-1.fc12.i686 nagios-plugins-1.4.13-17.fc12.i686 xfce4-xkb-plugin-0.5.3.3-1.fc12.i686 yum-plugin-verify-1.1.24-2.fc13.noarch gnumeric-plugins-extras-1.8.4-5.fc13.i686 xfce4-places-plugin-1.2.0-1.fc12.i686 audacious-plugins-freeworld-mms-2.1-1.fc12.i686 vamp-plugin-sdk-2.0-6.fc12.i686 xfce4-genmon-plugin-3.2-4.fc12.i686 alsa-plugins-oss-1.0.21-2.fc12.i686 plymouth-plugin-space-flares-0.8.0-0.2009.29.09.19.fc12.i686 yum-plugin-protect-packages-1.1.24-2.fc13.noarch claws-mail-plugins-vcalendar-3.7.3-1.fc13.i686 mozilla-filesystem-1.9-5.fc12.i686 xfce4-mount-plugin-0.5.5-4.fc12.i686 xfce4-dict-plugin-0.5.3-3.fc12.i686 xfce4-diskperf-plugin-2.2.0-5.fc12.i686 gstreamer-plugins-good-devel-0.10.17-1.fc13.i686 trac-mercurial-plugin-0.11.0.7-7.20090715svn8365.fc12.noarch plymouth-plugin-two-step-0.8.0-0.2009.29.09.19.fc12.i686 xfce4-weather-plugin-0.7.3-1.fc12.i686 allegro-jack-plugin-4.2.3-1.fc13.i686 xfce4-battery-plugin-0.5.1-4.fc12.i686 audacious-plugins-freeworld-aac-2.1-1.fc12.i686 plymouth-plugin-throbgress-0.8.0-0.2009.29.09.19.fc12.i686 xfce4-datetime-plugin-0.6.1-4.fc12.i686 plymouth-plugin-label-0.8.0-0.2009.29.09.19.fc12.i686 gutenprint-plugin-5.2.4-7.fc13.i686 gstreamer-plugins-good-0.10.17-1.fc13.i686 yum-plugin-keys-1.1.24-2.fc13.noarch avidemux-plugins-2.5.1-6.20091010svn.fc12.i686 nagios-plugins-game-1.4.13-17.fc12.i686 crossfire-plugins-1.11.0-4.fc12.i686 abrt-plugin-logger-0.0.11-2.fc12.i686 kipi-plugins-libs-0.8.0-1.fc12.i686 xulrunner-1.9.2.1-0.2.b3.fc13.i686 yum-plugin-protectbase-1.1.24-2.fc13.noarch xfce4-verve-plugin-0.3.6-4.fc12.i686 gstreamer-plugins-base-devel-0.10.25-5.fc13.i686 thunar-archive-plugin-0.2.4-7.fc12.i686 anaconda-yum-plugins-1.0-5.fc12.noarch xfce4-screenshooter-plugin-1.6.0-2.fc12.i686 trac-git-plugin-0.11.0.2-5.20090511svn5396.fc12.noarch gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.13-1.fc12.i686 xulrunner-devel-1.9.2.1-0.2.b3.fc13.i686 thunar-shares-plugin-0.2.0-2.fc12.i686 gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.16-1.fc12.i686 xfce4-timer-plugin-0.6.1-4.fc12.i686 gedit-plugins-2.28.0-1.fc13.i686 audacious-plugins-freeworld-alac-2.1-1.fc12.i686 xfce4-mailwatch-plugin-1.1.0-4.fc12.i686 yum-plugin-list-data-1.1.24-2.fc13.noarch java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0-33.b16.fc12.i686 gstreamer-plugins-schroedinger-1.0.8-3.fc13.i686 abrt-plugin-bugzilla-0.0.11-2.fc12.i686 allegro-arts-plugin-4.2.3-1.fc13.i686 maven-shared-plugin-testing-harness-1.2-3.fc12.noarch
You really don't have flash player installed, or you have libflashplyaer.so in your personal profile? I would suggest to install nspluginwrapper and flash-plugin package from yum repository on http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/thankyou/?installer=Flash_Player_10_for_Linux_(YUM) Does it help?
Also abrt might be helpful (install abrt\*, chkconfig abrtd on; service abrtd start; and in your desktop session abrt-applet&) ... in case next time your firefox crashes we will at least get a good backtrace with some degree of probability and we will be able to investigate further.
For a number of reasons (closed protocol, security issues, Dmitry Sklyarov, etc.) I don't like flash and I don't have a flash player installed. For a while I had the free plugins (gnash and the other one) installed but disabled, but then firefox started reenabling disabled plugins (bug 491543) and I had to uninstall them. I'll do the abrt stuff. I figured there was a good chance that it was something other people would be seeing and it wouldn't be needed. It got to be late enough last night that I didn't want to do it then.
Maybe you have friends at bug 523439
Sorry, forget the last comment, that is explicitly not for Firefox.
It looks like this got fixed. I applied last nights rawhide changes this afternoon (including a xulrunner one) and I am not seeing crashes now. So I am going to close this one as fixed in rawhide.
