I'm using the DAG Mozilla 1.5 RPMS on a Fedora 1 box (with all the latest updates):

$ rpm -qi mozilla
Name        : mozilla                      Relocations: /usr 
Version     : 1.5                               Vendor: Dag Apt Repository,

Summary     : A Web browser.
Description :
Mozilla is an open-source Web browser, designed for standards
compliance, performance, and portability.



The page that causes the crash is valid XHTML 1.0 served as text/html:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.multikulti.org.uk%2F

It also has valid CSS2:

I _don't_ have a problem with Mozilla running in XP in VMWare (Mozilla/5.0
(Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007) and in addition this
web site was developed using Mozilla...



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://www.multikulti.org.uk/
2. Browser crashes


Actual Results:  
There is no output to the terminal I start Mozilla from when it crashes.

Expected Results:  
Not crashed :-)
Keywords: crash
can you try latest XFT Firebird pre-0.8 build ? Simple tarball that can be in a
dummy directory (I assume your build is XFT otherwise you can use Mozilla
pre-1.6 nightly builds):
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firebird/nightly/latest-0.8/
this may be bug 213734.

If still crashing, please attach a stack trace by running 'mozilla -g' and 'bt'
after crashing within GDB.
do you have Microsoft .fon fonts in your fonts directories ? Does deleting (or
archiving) them prevent from crashing ? Could be bug 180309.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040107

It works for me.
I don't have any .fon fonts -- the following doesn't match anything:

$ locate fon | grep -i fon$

The lastest Firebird doesn't crash: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20040106 
Firebird/0.7+

I'll mail the freshrpms list about the linux rpm version that is crashing to see if others are having this 
problem.

does your 1.5 build crash on URL mentioned in bug 213734 ?
http://4c.ucc.ie/~cbosch/mozcrash.txt
Blocks: xft_tracking
My DAG 1.5 RPM Mozilla does also crash on http://4c.ucc.ie/~cbosch/mozcrash.txt

Also it has been suggested that upgrading from RedHat 9 to Fedora 1 might cause some fonts to be 
installed that cause crashes:

http://lists.freshrpms.net/pipermail/freshrpms-list/2004-January/007117.html

can you attach a stacktrace from your 1.5 build ?

if you're using the standard mozilla startup script, just do
% mozilla -g -d gdb
(gdb) run
[wait for mozilla to crash]
(gdb) bt
(attach the output from "bt" via "create a new attachment")

This could be related to bug
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=111973 too.
Sorry for being stupid but I don't understand how to do that stack trace, I can get this far:

[chris@snowball chris]$ mozilla  -g -d gdb
[23]+  Exit 11                 mozilla

But I don't understand how to run the bt command?
This might be caused by a Chinese TTF -- I have been removing all the fonts installed on my 
system one-by-one and restarting xfs and then trying Mozilla and after removing this one:

# rpm -e ttfonts-zh_CN-2.13-0

Mozilla no longer crashes :-)

I have just reinstalled the font that *appeared* to cause the problem (apt-get install ttfonts-zh_CN) 
but I don't have the crashes any more.

These are all the font RPMS that I have removed:

fonts-hebrew-0.80-1
fonts-ISO8859-2-100dpi-1.0-11
fonts-ISO8859-2-1.0-11
fonts-ja-8.0-9
fonts-KOI8-R-1.0-5
fonts-KOI8-R-75dpi-1.0-5
freebanglafont-0.5-1
taipeifonts-1.2-23
ttfonts-ja-1.2-29
ttfonts-zh_TW-2.11-22
XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.3.0-42
XFree86-cyrillic-fonts-4.3.0-42
XFree86-ISO8859-14-100dpi-fonts-4.3.0-42
XFree86-ISO8859-14-75dpi-fonts-4.3.0-42
XFree86-ISO8859-15-100dpi-fonts-4.3.0-42
XFree86-ISO8859-15-75dpi-fonts-4.3.0-42
XFree86-ISO8859-2-75dpi-fonts-4.3.0-42

XFree86-ISO8859-9-75dpi-fonts-4.3.0-42
XFree86-syriac-fonts-4.3.0-42

And these are the ones I have left:

bitmap-fonts-0.3-2
chkfontpath-1.9.10-2
fontconfig-2.2.1-6.1
fonts-ISO8859-2-75dpi-1.0-11
fonts-KOI8-R-100dpi-1.0-5
ghostscript-fonts-5.50-9
mplayer-fonts-1.1-2.fr
tetex-fonts-2.0.2-8
ttfonts-ko-1.0.11-29
ttfonts-zh_CN-2.13-0
urw-fonts-2.1-5.1
xawtv-tv-fonts-3.88-6
XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.3.0-42
XFree86-base-fonts-4.3.0-42
XFree86-font-utils-4.3.0-42
XFree86-ISO8859-2-100dpi-fonts-4.3.0-42
XFree86-truetype-fonts-4.3.0-42

out of curiosity: do you use apt-get (.deb Packages) and RPMs (not that this is
generally wrong)?
apt (and yum) are used by _lots_ of people for updating Fedora and Red Hat boxes, in fact yum is 
now the official updater for Fedora, for more info see Freshrpms:

  http://www.freshrpms.net/

I have never tried installing a .deb on a Red Hat or Fedora machine.

(Sorry for getting off-topic!)
WFM Linux gtk1 1.6 on SuSE 8.2 and Mandrake 9.2 xft/gtk2 1.4 release.
Hi

I fixed this buy deleting my ~/.mozilla directory and upgradeing to the latest
DAG RPM:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040124

Sorry not to have a more helpful bug report...
marking WFM as per reporter comments.
