Can you try this in safe mode http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode . Also please follow the directions at https://developer.mozilla.org/En/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_with_WinDbg .

Tried running in safe-mode:
/opt/gconf/bin/dbus-launch firefox -safe-mode but, the crash-reporter does not
submit the crash report. From tcpdump, I can see that it connects to the crash
reporting server, but, it does not seem to send anything. Crash-reporter just
sits there doing nothing. 

I can't use WinDdb as I'm on Linux.

I understand that you are experiencing a crash. Could you please follow the steps found at http://new.quality.mozilla.org/bug-writing-guidelines, which will help us pinpoint the cause and nature of the crash. The link Natch gave you does not have the Linux info, but this one, https://developer.mozilla.org/En/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_for_a_bug_report does. 

@Natch, it is usually better to give this link for crash, as it links to the WinDbg page, and has stuff for mac and Linux users as well.

Well, The bug is still present with a clean run of firefox:

$ rm -rf ~/.mozilla
$ /opt/firefox/firefox -safe-mode

### Disable everything and restart as prompted ###
Add a couple of bookmarks
Try sorting the bookmarks by dragging them.
Firefox crashes.

Since crashreporter isn't working for me, I ran firefox under gdb.
The attachment (Comment #4) contains a typescript of the session.
The next attachment contains (Comment #6) a pmap `pidof firefox-bin` output.
Looks like there is a SEGV in  gdk_pixbuf_fill().

FYI:
X:  xorg-7.4
ATK: 1.24.0
cairo: 1.8.6
glib: 2.18.3
gtk+: 2.14.6    (can this be the cause?)
pango: 1.22.4
pixman: 0.13.2

Hope this helps.

Firefox-3.1b2 does not show the bug.

Comment 8

[Rajeev Pillai]

Firefox-3.0.4 also has the bug.

Comment 9

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

windbg from comment #1 is useless because this is linux, the crashreporter doesn't work if you don't use an official Mozilla.org build but the URL for the crashreporter contains a a little bit for GDB under Linux.

Basically you need debug symbols installed and run it in under GDB to get a full stack trace.

I did use the official Firefox-3.{0.{5,4},1b2} for the tests.

um. go install debugging symbols for at least gdk/gdk_pixbuf. but you're going to also need them for firefox.

you can't debug our binaries (except on windows).

go build your own.

Using GTK-2.14.7 fixes the problem.

Sounds like a bug in GTK then that caused this, so this bug is INVALID or WORKSFORME :/
