Can you attach a backtrace? (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces#Firefox)

I wish I could. I've installed the debug packages and run firefox in debug mode as described but I don't see how I can obtain the backtrace. Apparently I should issue the command gbd name-of-program. Since I am in gbd mode I enter "firefox" as this is the program that crashes but gbd doesn't know what to do with it. 

I need more precise information at that point.

when you're in the gdb (you'll see the "(gdb)" prompt), run firefox by "run" command.

OK, I got the following output, hope it's sufficient:

It prompts me to issue continue a zillion times producing more output that I can catch with copy/paste. Please inform what I can do to save the output.

Problem SOLVED.

In a general Danish linux forum I found the following solution to the problem:

In firefox launch about:config and in there change dom.ipc.plugins.java.enabled from false to true and once restarted firefox does not crash any more.

I have no idea what this means but the crash is gone.

Okay, thanks. BTW. It enables java to run in separated process (plugin-container) so the plugin crash does not affects firefox itself.

Thanks Erik.
But is this bug closed ?
The property "dom.ipc.plugins.java.enable" should be enabled by default OR the crash of the plugin prevented.

Okay, noving to OpenJDK.

A possible dupe of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=789959

Looks like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=794908

In http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=820
there seems to be a working patch - can we have that applied please?
