User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pt-BR; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070400 SUSE/3.0.1-1.1 Firefox/3.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; pt-BR; rv.1.9.0.1) Grecko/2008070206 Firefox/3.0.1

When trying to reply a message under GMail webmail, I needed to correct a sentence and after pressing the delete key, Firefox crashed with a segmentation fault.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a random message received in http://www.gmail.com
2. Click on Reply
3. Type the message and try to delete any text using the delete key
Actual Results:  
I tried to run it from console and I've got these results:
> firefox
Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to
retrieve property `GtkTreeView::odd-row-color' of type `GdkColor' from
rc file value "((GString*) 0x8210a90)" of type `GString'
Flash Player: Warning: environment variable G_FILENAME_ENCODING is set
and is not UTF-8
/usr/bin/firefox: line 123:  3171 Falha de segmentação  $MOZ_PROGRAM "$@"



Then, I tried to start it in safe mode. I've got this:
> ./firefox -safe-mode
Gtk-Message: (for origin information, set GTK_DEBUG): failed to retrieve property `GtkTreeView::odd-row-color' of type `GdkColor' from rc file value "((GString*) 0x8535c90)" of type `GString'
Falha de segmentação



Finally, I've tried using strace:

The computer is old. It's a Pentium III 750 with 312MB of RAM but It runs openSuse 11.0 with KDE 3.5 without problems and even using swap.

I don't have easy access to this computer, but I can ask for the user to make some simple tests (she is not an advanced user).

She told me that it happens with different situations, but we couldn't reproduce that.
congratulations, you just managed to get a system call trace from your shell. this is absolutely useless. never do it again.

we don't want a system call trace (strace), we want a stack trace, stack traces come from talkback, crash-reporter, and gdb.

if you disable flash, do you crash?
Keywords: crash, stackwanted
Thank you for your tip. You are really polite!

But I'm sure I won't do that again.

As I said before, I started it in safe mode thinking that all plugins were disabled. Am I wrong?

Anyway, thank you for your help.
sadly, safe mode protects you from extensions, not plugins. try tools>addons>plugins
The flash plugin is not installed.
It is a clean installation of Firefox, downloaded from Mozilla website.

But it's weird because I can't reproduce this bug today.
