297377 - Firefox installer just crashes when I try to install it.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Joe Pelayo]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511

When I try o install Mozilla Firefox in my PC (an AMD Sempron 3100+ with a
K8M800-M2 motherboard from EliteGroup, running Mandrake Linux 10.1 (download
edition)), I can only see the first 'page' of the installer. When I click on
'Next' it just crashes. Using the "root's console" it gives me:
./firefox-installer: line 56:  6900 Segmentation fault      ./${BINNAME}-bin $@

This has happened with Firefox 1.0.3 and 1.0.4, and did not happen when I tried
to install it in a Pentium 4 based PC (it was the same installer file).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a "root's console"
2.Enter to the folder firefox-installer and type firefox.installer
3.Click on the 'Next' button in the installer that has already openned.


Actual Results:  
The installer will close when you click 'Next', leaving the following line in
the console
./firefox-installer: line 56:  6900 Segmentation fault      ./${BINNAME}-bin $@

Expected Results:  
Continue with the installation process.

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

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.
