We need a stacktrace with debug symbols
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_for_a_bug_report , use the alternative way if you use a build that is not from mozilla.org

Jonathan you are missing debug symbols they might be provided by a gentoo package so I'm adding some gentoo gurus to have hints on that.

User needs to refer to gentoo's meaningful backtrace page

libgobject is in the package glib, which I then rebuilt for the second time, and the problem has gone away. Sorry to trouble you guys: I suspected a library crash immediately and tried revdep-rebuild, then emerge -1 glib dbus-glib xulruner and a few others. It's not clear to me why that didn't fix it the first time, but it's gone now. 

I guess you can mark the bug CLOSED:WENTAWAY. 

thanks. 

Jon.

Jon thanks for getting this info attached, closing as you state it is fixed on your system. Please use proper channels and open a bug with gentoo, if it belongs upstream I will carry it up or ask you to.
