Works for me.
Can you reproduce this in safe mode? (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode)
When does Firefox crash? Is it immediately after you press the button to upload the file, after you press the button to choose the file, or a while after both?
Can you save the page on which Firefox crashes and attach it here please?

useless strace of run-mozilla.sh

please don't post straces unless someone explicitly asks for output from /usr/bin/strace.

we want a stack trace which has no relation ot an strace.

got to know the exact steps to reproduce and yes i am able to reproduce this even in safe mode. I would not be able to attach the web page though.


it's a text box and the property of the text box is that when i type the 
username i get my full name, as soon as i type the name firefox crashes. The last thing that i saw on the console is "
/install/firefox-1.5.0.1/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 18536 Segmentation fault      "$prog" ${1+"$@"}"


<snip>

       <input type="text" name="assigned_to" id="assigned_to"
       value="natraj"
        onchange="checkRadio(document.changeform.knob, 'reassign')"

OK. Did you submit any Talkback reports about this? If so, can you post the Talkback IDs here please? (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Talkback)

Comment 9

[natraj]

even talk segmentation faults when i try to capture an incident

Comment 10

Is this an official Mozilla build of Firefox, or is it distribution-specific? (Or custom?)

Comment 11

[natraj]

i was not detailed in explaining what happend with talkback.

I launch talkback from the components path and then when i click details talkback segfaults, i guess this all together a different issue. but the basic problem is i have enabled talkback when firefox crashes i dont see talkback being invoked.

Note: firefox vervion 1.5.0.1 running on fc3 on kernel "2.6.12-1.1381_FC3smp"


please let me know if you need any more info

OK. How would you feel about compiling Firefox from source with debug symbols and giving us a better backtrace?

Comment 13

[natraj]

sure no problem please can you point me to a faq or readme i would be doing it

Comment 14

[natraj]

"ac_add_options --enable-debug" should be fine i guess please allow me 1/2 and hour and i would be doing it..

reporter, Do you still see this problem. If you do not, please close the bug with resolution WORKSFORME, INVALID, etc as may be appropriate to your situation (but not FIXED unless you know the bug with the patch). 

If you still see problem using a current version of Firefox or trunk build, please provide additional detail.
