Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Rich Coe]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.10) Gecko/20071115 Firefox/2.0.0.10
Build Identifier: Firefox/3.0b1 2007110903 Gecko/1.9b1 

I was continuing to use firefox 3.0b1 after fixing an earlier bug.
I just proceeded to do my normal workflow.
After about an hour of use, firefox crashed and I could not get a traceback
from gdb, because it was confused (out of memory?)

I switched back to 2.0.0.10 for awhile and then tried using 3.0b1 again.

It now crashes every time at startup ...
