Mozilla developers identified and fixed several stability bugs in the browser engine used in Firefox and other Mozilla-based products. Some of these crashes showed evidence of memory corruption under certain circumstances and we presume that with enough effort at least some of these could be exploited to run arbitrary code. Gary Kwong, and Timothee Groleau reported crashes in the JavaScript engine which affected Firefox 3 only.

I'm getting firefox 3.0.13 (and some previous releases) crashing in a Java-ish operation. To replicate: open http://www.srh.noaa.gov/tsa using the left hand menu bar, click on Radar Imagery-Tulsa again using the left hand menu bar, click on Reflectivity Base Loop It starts loading images and then crashes rpm -qa | grep java shows java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0-20.b16.fc10.i386 java_cup-0.10k-1.i386 tzdata-java-2009k-1.fc10.noarch java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-20.b16.fc10.i386 java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0-23.fc10.i386 (but it was doing this with some previous firefox/java releases as well)
Tried it again today, the java stuff is now java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin-1.6.0.0-27.b16.fc11.i586 java-1.5.0-gcj-1.5.0.0-28.fc11.i586 java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-27.b16.fc11.i586 and it worked correctly and did not crash. Thanks for fixing.
Well, that was short-lived. Now it's crashing again, with no changes to the software from the above.
Jim, please open separate bug report against F10 / firefox for this issue. You're unlikely to get any usable feedback in the oldish and most likely completely unrelated bug report.
