271026 - random crashes with 1.0 and RC

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 260847

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jacob Vogelstein]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

I'm sorry, I know this is going to be basically useless, but I felt obligated to
write in after reading a similar story on slashdot.  I have used Firefox since
0.1, and I've found it pretty stable ever since 0.4 or so.  By the Preview
Release, I was running for weeks at a time without crashing, and now on both 1.0
and previously on the Release Candidate, it crashes every day or so while doing
totally mundane things.  There's no pattern I can discern, no particular
websites at fault, and no obvious user action to blame.  It just crashes.  And
it never used to.  I know there's enough people with the same problem to make it
on to a front page slashdot story, so... i dunno. you tell me.  Just to make the
point more strongly, I didn't even know that Talkback *existed* in Firefox until
I installed RC (well, technically i knew, but i never thought about it).

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce
Steps to Reproduce:
Install RC or 1.0 with installer over previous versions (it automatically runs
older version's uninstall)
Actual Results:  
Ran firefox for a few days, then it crashed.

Expected Results:  
Not crash.

Do you have many extensions installed? Try surfing without them. If it doesnt
help, try creating a new profile.

I had a similar problem and an OS reinstall cured it.

You're right this is useless. At least without talkback IDs, post them here if
this is still a problem.
