() No symbol table info available. Reporter, unfortunatly this back-trace does not have enough information, by itself, to troubleshoot this crash. If you can be more specific, or better yet, can get an exact series of steps we can use to reproduce this issue, perhaps we can begin to troubleshoot this issue. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.
I was unable to find out the exact steps to reproduce the crash. I am also quite surprise that nobody else reported it because it was a clean install of F13 and it happened quite often. Anyway, I can no longer debug this because I moved to another distro. Sorry. I guess you can close it if you cannot reproduce it. Anyway, F13 will be out soon and if there is a problem, other users will probably report it again.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle. Changing version to '14'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
We're using mozilla crash reporter now, ABRT is no more used for Firefox/Thunderbird. If you can reliably reproduce the crash (you have a testcase, reproduction steps, etc.) please reopen the bug and attach the reproduction info and assign it directly to me (stransky@redhat.com). Thanks!
