(originally filed as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=480349 ; not that I, bug triager of Red Hat, cannot reproduce it)

About a year ago I registered a new Yahoo! account and received a welcome
e-mail in the new e-mail address. Now I wanted to see what's there, but I can't
see that because my computer freezes every time Firefox begins to load the
message. The mouse usually stops working and if it works I can't click on
anything, I can't restart Gnome so I have to "manually" reboot.
It also happened in another websites, but I was thinking it was an isolated
case.
Obviously, I don't want Firefox to work, I want to close it! Or should I?

-----

I've found another "public" site to make Firefox crash; so what I have to do
is:

1)go to www.labmacs.diiga.univpm.it;
2)click on "Courses";
3)reboot.

Now I have the backtrace (I kept the Needinfo flag set), but it isn't
interesting at all: it simply says "No registers.".
I tried to see what gdb writes, but before the bad click many threads are
launched and closed, after that nothing happens. (if you want, I have the
entire incoming/outgoing process list, but I don't think it may be helpful).
Anyway, I'm going to attach a file with the gdb output before the run command.
What can I do now?

> Meaning, you were able to reproduce this with upstream binary?

Yes, of course. I've downloaded the Linux version from the site above, but I
still have the same issue (in safe mode).

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.see above
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
I can't load the e-mail because my system freezes. I have to reboot powering
off.
or
I cannot do anything on the www.labmacs.diiga.univpm.it

Expected Results:  
I want to close Firefox!


there are no backtraces from gdb

You have to reboot your whole system or is it enough to kill X with ctrl+alt+backspace or is Firefox only freezing ?

Rebooting system = not our bug, X freeze = not our bug AFAIK, Firefox freezes= that would be our bug.

Version: unspecified → 3.0 Branch
For past 5 days of so (prior to 7/31/09) My yahoo has been completely freezing when trying to access inbox, forward, view any messages, etc. I am running the latest version of Firefox on a 10.4.11 G4 iMac. This recently started freezing, seems like when I loaded the new Firefox, but eventually unfroze itself. Now I have had to Force Quit the app each time I try to access my mail. once in a while it works, but about 9 out of 10 times it freezes.
is this like bug 506442 in windows?
