WFM on Windows.

Please provide a crash report... they can be accessed via about:crashes

Comment 2

[Kalkin Sam]

Therer're no crash reports. about:crashes doesn't exists and the directory /home/<username>/.mozilla/firefox/Crash Reports/ doesn't exists.

The Bug seems not to appear on some other Linux configurations. Perhaps it's depends on the version of a SVG lib?

I notice that the User-Agent has (Gentoo) in it. Does that mean that you didn't get your Firefox from http://www.mozilla.com? If so can you download Firefox 3 from there and try that one?

Comment 4

[Robert Longson [:longsonr]]

I think gentoo is built with --enable-system-cairo 

You can confirm that using about:buildconfig

My guess is that your problems are down to the version of your system cairo library. The mozilla.com Firefox has cairo embedded into the binary itself.

If this is the case then this bug is invalid here. You would need to raise one with Gentoo.

There is no Firefox Linux Version for PowerPC.

Yes it's build with --enable-svg-renderer=cairo --enable-system-cairo

I don't think that the problem is that it's compiled with --enable-system-cairo, because a friend of mine uses Firefox on Ubuntu and it can normaly render the SVG. Here are his build flags
--build=i486-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr '--includedir=${prefix}/include' '--mandir=${prefix}/share/man' '--infodir=${prefix}/share/info' --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var '--libexecdir=${prefix}/lib/xulrunner-1.9' --disable-maintainer-mode --disable-dependency-tracking --srcdir=.  --enable-system-cairo --disable-system-sqlite --with-system-nspr --with-system-nss --enable-application=xulrunner --enable-extensions=xml-rpc,venkman,inspector,irc,gnomevfs,cview,tasks,reporter,python/xpcom --enable-webservices --enable-safe-browsing --with-default-mozilla-five-home=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9 --enable-startup-notification --with-user-appdir=.mozilla --without-system-jpeg --with-system-zlib=/usr --with-system-bz2=/usr --enable-system-hunspell --disable-javaxpcom --disable-crashreporter --disable-elf-dynstr-gc --disable-installer --disable-strip --disable-strip-libs --disable-install-strip --disable-tests --disable-mochitest --disable-updater --enable-optimize --with-distribution-id=com.ubuntu

Another friend of mine could reproduce the crash on a Firefox 2 on linux.

could you try using EMERGE or something to disable system-cairo and see if the problem goes away?

What version of cairo though? His could be newer than yours.

I have 1.6.4 but no idea, which one he have.

Also right-click & View page source gives strange black window with coloured text

[Scooter Morris]

Confirming on Fedora Core 8 with a clean Firefox 3.0 from mozilla.  When run from the terminal, get a: firefox-bin: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :0.0.

Comment 12

[Raúl Porcel]

Still happening with 3.0.1?

Comment 13

[Kalkin Sam]

It works fine  on Debian Lenny GNU/Linux with Iceweasel 3.0.1. I have no Gentoo no more so i can't test it if it would work on Gentoo.

Comment 14

[Raúl Porcel]

Okay, this is rather a Gentoo bug...probably related with xorg-server, since -bin crashes as well.

I've opened a bug on Gentoo: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=236108 , closing this one as invalid since it applies only to Gentoo
