User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/0.10 This is not going to be easy to verify: under Gnome desktop and icewm, generally low memory (only 256M installed and running emacs, httpd, named &c), Firefox 0.8 was stable as a rock, but the 1.0 blows up at least once a day. I'm not 100% certain, but it seems to fail only when a click would open new window or a new tab, for example clicking "comments" on an MT blog (opens a small window) or when selecting a personal linkbar item to display in a new window or new tab. It is sporadic, or perhaps cummulative; it has never happened very soon after opening a fresh Firefox, only after visiting several pages, having several windows or tabs open. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
If I could get the debug report module working, I might be able to provide more data; see my other bug report on the problems caused by trying to install for the whole system as root.

260609 may be a duplicate of this bug. Also, I tried "firefox --debug" ... firefox aborted as soon as I tried to open the About box and I'm afraid the output isn't much help: $ firefox --debug /opt/firefox-1.0/run-mozilla.sh -g /opt/firefox-1.0/firefox-bin MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/opt/firefox-1.0 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/firefox-1.0:/opt/firefox-1.0/plugins:/usr/local/lib/mre/mre-0.10 DISPLAY=:0.0 DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/firefox-1.0:/usr/local/lib/mre/mre-0.10 LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/firefox-1.0:/opt/firefox-1.0/components:/usr/local/lib/mre/mre-0.10 SHLIB_PATH=/opt/firefox-1.0:/usr/local/lib/mre/mre-0.10 LIBPATH=/opt/firefox-1.0:/usr/local/lib/mre/mre-0.10 ADDON_PATH=/opt/firefox-1.0 MOZ_PROGRAM=/opt/firefox-1.0/firefox-bin MOZ_TOOLKIT= moz_debug=1 moz_debugger= which: no ddd in (/home/garym/bin:/home/garym/bin:/opt/jdk/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/opt/tcm/bin:/opt/tcm/bin:/opt/tcm/bin) /usr/bin/gdb /opt/firefox-1.0/firefox-bin -x /tmp/mozargs29380 GNU gdb 6.0-2mdk (Mandrake Linux) Copyright 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
