A number of other crashes in other circumstances has been noted. I am reverting to 1.2.1 "ethereal" packet dumps are available if requested. Downloaded and installed Mozilla 1.3 last night. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Go to URL www.cbn.org 2. 3. Actual Results: Mozilla window vanishes. Expected Results: Display CBN site page
actually, what would help most here is crashing in a talkback build... and also information about which exact 1.3 build (RPM? .tar.gz? installer?) you're using.
Keywords: crash
The build is RPMS for Red Hat Linux 8.x with Gtk2 support. I have downloaded and installed all the RPMs in http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla1.3/Red_Hat_8x_RPMS/gtk2/i386/. The problem persists. This build has no talkback software so far as I can tell. I can find the talkback software for earlier versions of Mozilla that are still on my computer; however, there are no similar files in the 1.3 build. My operating system is Redhat 8.0 with a gnome desktop. My linux software is up-to-date except that I have not yet downloaded the latest kernel available from Redhat.
Could you possibly try a non-rpm build? Specifically one _without_ the experimental gtk2 code?
I installed the "Talkback enabled Full Installer" build and it works. The GTK+ version still does not. I note that the library files of the two builds appear to be different, e.g., library files with the same name have different sizes. Also, the "Java(TM) Plug-in 1.4.1_01-b01" plugin works in the Installer version but not in the GTK+ version. "Unless otherwise indicated, all installer builds contain talkback." Isn't an RPM a kind of installer?
> Isn't an RPM a kind of installer? It's not built by Netscape, so it does not contain talkback. Sounds like a gtk2 issue...

workfsorme with linux trunk/CVS/gtk2/xft the page has a flash object. do you have the flash plugin? what version? I have 6.0r79 and it the flash object works fine.
I had the "5.0 r48" flash plugin in the plugins directory of the GTK+ version of mozilla. It causes this mozilla to crash, i.e., to exit, when it is called. After I deleted this plugin,the cbn site loads, showing a default plugin symbol (that looks a piece of a zigsaw puzzle). There was no crash. I downloaded and installed the "6.0 r79" version of the flash plugin into the GTK+ version. The cbn site now loads and the moving banner in the window works normally (so far as I know). Both versions of the flash plugin work properly in the "Full Installer" version of Mozilla 1.3. The Java 1.4.1_01-b01 plugin still does not work in the GTK+ version, e.g., with this site: http://weather.noaa.gov/radar/mosaic.loop/DS.p19r0/ar.us.conus.shtml. Mozilla does not crash; rather, it shows the default plugin symbol. The "Full Installer" version of Mozilla does load and execute this plugin. The "About Plug-ins" pages are identical for both versions, e.g., both pages show the same java plugin is present. I note that the "About Mozilla" pages are almost identical for both versions of Mozilla The GTK+ version used a smaller font and a date is different: 20030313 vs 20030312. Otherwise, this page says nothing about which version is in use.
Summary: Mozilla 1.3 always crashes for me on this site (www.cbn.org). → gtk2 build crash with flash 5
Sun JRE does not work with the gtk2 build because it was built with a different compiler (not because it is gtk2). The problem with flash5 might or might be the same.
Sounds like the gcc 3.2 issue. Please read the release notes.

Downloading and linking into the Blackdown version of the Java JRE eliminates the Java plug-in problem -- a 20 Megabyte plug-in??? -- but not the flash 5 crash.

Yeah, still can't fix flash. I don't have the source.

For the record dmose has tested flash with GCC 3.2 builds and it DOES work. IF you build with gtk1. I don't know whether it's the GTK2 code in Mozilla that's buggy or Flash (nor do I care). But don't blame compiler mismatch for Flash breakage.
also for the record, Shockwave Flash 6.0 r69 works just fine for me with my self-compiled mozilla/gtk2+xft using gcc 3.2.2
OK, then I need to see a stack trace assuming it's crashing.
I tried flash 5.0.51 with gcc3.2/gtk2 and it simply did not load. it showed up in about->plugins, but www.macromedia.com did not any flash objects. I tried flash 5.0.51 with gcc3.2/gtk1/debug and the behavior was identical
maybe only flash 6 is working with gtk2?
