Description

[bug]

HEllo, 
When i go on certain website (like http://www.anti-phoenix.org or 
http://gentoo.org for exemple) firefox crash with this error:  
/usr/bin/firefox: line 88: 12406 Segmentation fault      $mozbin "$@" 
Same thing when i try to open some http mail in thunderbird. 
/usr/bin/thunderbird: line 88: 12545 Segmentation fault      $mozbin "$@" 
I have this probleme when i run under xorg 6.7 and not under xorg 6.8 but i 
have an ati radeon video card and 3D acceleration isn't supported under xorg 
6.8 .  
I run under gentoo with 2.6.10-gentoo-r4 kernel. 
I tried to remove .mozilla folder but the result is the same

This report is unlikely to result in any improvement to Firefox

The vital information missing is a stack trace or talkback ID;
the build ID and recipe for reproduction are also requested.

It would also be helpful to check that the problem occurs with
the latest nightly.

Reporter, please read the Bug Writing Guidelines
http://mozilla.org/quality/bug-writing-guidelines.html

I use the edition of Firefox in portage on Gentoo, and for that reason
alone do not report bugs against it to b.m.o. - I assume that it
is too far behind the code that the developers are using.

If you are using nightlies (or building your own) then your reports
are probably going to be useful.

I have found a way to go around this bug. I had to downgrade freetype to the
2.1.5-R1 version. But if you want more detail to try fixing this issue in
mozilla i can give it

The information, as a minimum, is the build ID of the lizard that crashes, and 
a stack trace.

if you go for example on the website Http://www.cracks.am and then select
something to download and you dont agree with the signature, Firefox 1.0 freezes
completely and i have to shut it down.

Gentoo has freetype 1.3.1-r4 in portage. Is there a later release
of freetype 2 then the one you are on?

I can duplicate this behavior accessing www.rawstory.com.  I'm running the alpha
of Deer Park.  The site has some Flash animations as well as some pop-under ads
and the browser appears to crash when the pop-under ad starts to load.  I have
pop-up blocker and flash blocker extensions installed.  This site loads fine
with Firefox 1.0.4.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
