Firefox kept crashing on lots of different pages. I tried creating a new profile for Firefox and I also tried running it in safe mode, but it still crashed.
Eventually I installed the "firefox-gdb" package so that I could try to run the GDB debugger and find the problem. The backtrace says that there's a segfault in "AffixMgr::parse_file".
Here's the backtrace:

As a temporary solution, I was able to get Firefox working again by deleting all the "th*" dictionary files.
I never had a problem with Firefox crashing until I did a disto-upgrade from Ubuntu Lucid to Ubuntu Maverick. Right after I upgraded to Maverick, Firefox started crashing all the time.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firefox
2. Navigate to Youtube.com
3. Click on any video at all to view it, and... well... the Firefox window disappears suddenly without a trace.
Actual Results:
The Firefox window just disappears without a trace! (I had to run the GDB debugger to figure out what was going on)
Expected Results:
It should have opened a page showing a Youtube video.
I didn't have any problems with Firefox until I did a distro-upgraded from Ubuntu Lucid to Ubuntu Maverick.
Right after I upgraded to Maverick, I saw that Firefox was crashing all the time.
The problem went away after I deleted all of my "th*" dictionary files.

By the way, I still have a backup of the "th*" dictionary files on my hard disk in case anyone would like to try them out while debugging this. If you would like a copy of the files then you can e-mail me on this address:

Virchanza, can you try this on a current nightly build? The 3.6 branch is using an older version of Hunspell and I'm curious if the newer version on trunk fixes this crash.
Sorry to sound like an idiot, Ryan, but I don't know what the "current nightly build" is or how to get it running on my machine???
I've only ever debugged my own programs -- this is the first time I've ever tried to debug someone else's program (only because I love Firefox so much and I've been stuck using Arora for the last week or so, I had to get Firefox working again!)
I'm running Ubuntu Maverick 10.10 and I have extensive knowledge of Linux. I'm very comfortable at the command line. Can you please talk me through the steps to download and run the current nightly build? I don't suppose it's as easy as "apt-get install"?
OK I went to "nightly.mozilla.org" and I downloaded the "Linux Intel" file built on 2010-11-01.
I untarred the file, and I navigated into the "firefox" folder. Then I copied my original "th*" dictionary files into the "dictionaries" folder. I ran the firefox program (which actually came up as Minefield or something), and I navigated to the YouTube website, and then I clicked on a video.
The nightly build did NOT crash, it worked fine with my "th*" dictionary files.
After trying out the Nightly build, I restored my original "th*" dictionary files in /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.12/dictionaries.
I then ran my normal version of Firefox, and I expected it to crash again when I went to view a YouTube video.
...but it didn't. No more crashing. The only thing that was different was that Firefox checked the compatibility of plug-in's when it started up. Now it works fine, it doesn't crash.
Damned if I know.

Hmm, very interesting. Maybe a stupid idea, but if you still have the crashing th* file saved somewhere, can you MD5 that and the original one (that's no longer crashing) to confirm no changes were made to the file somehow?

That variable is innocent and not the reason, but Bug 620626#c20 looks close: csconv is NULL here.
Any chance for a simple if() around that thing to prevent the crash??
I see relationships to bug 620626. So where to report this bug? Here or better on hunspell page (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=756395&group_id=143754&func=browse)?

On my system it's trivial: Quick Locale switcher is installed (1.7.8 nowadays) and when I switch from any locale (e.g. english) to thai-locale the crash occurs.
The crash survived a couple of FF versions, not sure if the addon was updated meanwhile.

I am unable to reproduce the crash in a blank profile when switching from english to thai using Quick Locale Switcher 1.7.8. Do you have any further steps you take? Can you reproduce with an otherwise-blank profile?

Yeah, I couldn't reproduce it either. :/

Tha crash happnes also with a clean profile, and just installing the Quick Locale addon. Maybe the data files from suse are broken -> I attach them.
However looking at the hunspell code reveals obvious path/chance for that crash by not handling that NULL properly. Maybe one could cook up a simple unit test exhibiting that problem with my language files!?

Here's what I did to reproduce the bug: I copied the th-TH.dic and th-TH.aff files from your attachment to firefoxdir/dictionaries, and I tried using the locale switcher add-on, and I couldn't reproduce the crash.
amai: can you find the XPI file that contains those dictionaries so that we can install them as a normal add-on?

That's non-trivial, they came with my plain OpenSuse installation, but I'll try!
And to comment 12: No, there is no additional step, and it works with any webpage or any amount of tabs, etc.

What version of OpenSuse do you use? Maybe I can just install that in a virtual machine and give this a shot?
Also, can you please confirm that you can reproduce the crash with a nightly version of Firefox from http://nightly.mozilla.org/?
Thanks!

I use OpenSuse 12.1, amd64. Thanks for investigating!
I'll try to get a nightly running/crashing.

Well, that binary is running here, I may install quick locale changer and "changing" to another locale does not crash but since I don't have the necessary data files/packages that seems to be a fruitless attempt, and is probably not a proof that this has been fixed!?

What other data files/packages would you need to reproduce this crash? Really what I would need here is to have a bullet list of easy-to-follow steps from a pristine OpenSuse 12.1 installation to a setup on which I can reproduce this crash on a nightly... :-)

I understand, but somehow I have problems to gather the data. I installed opensuse straightforward, then firefox from opensuse, it already pre-installed all language packages (therefore I don't know which .xpi were used!!), and the bug persisted with all opensuse version (even after changing to another repository called "packman"). From that perspective I did about nothing special. Quick locale switcher was my only manual installation.
My yinstallation tool (yast2) shows the following packages:
MozillaFirefox,MozillaFirefox-branding-opensuse,MozillaFirefox-buildsymbols,MozillaFirefox-debuginfo,MozillaFirefox-debugsource,MozillaFirefox-translationscommon,MozillaFirefox-translations-other in the most recent version (9.0.1-2.9.2 for most of them).
If we cannot get anybody to reproduce that way we may have to go down to Comment 14 - my understanding ist that the bug is in hunspell itself, so 90% of the callstack (Comment 17) is probably irrelevant.

OK, I got OpenSuse 12.1 installed, and I installed the language packs from the package manager. Here are some observations:
1. Quick Locale Switcher doesn't seem to work. When I select a different language, nothing happens. I remember from a long time ago when I used this extension daily that the language used in the UI should change...
2. I can't reproduce the crash. But I also don't seem to be able to find the Thai dictionary at all. When I right click a textbox and go to Languages, Thai is not listed there. In fact, there's only about 20 languages listed there, and it seems like a lot of the language packs do not come with dictionaries.

That is a setting which may be off by default. You may configure if you configure only about settings for web content (read: language) or the UI of firefox.
Did you get the MozillaFirefox-translations-other? That seems to contain thai files. th-TH.aff I cannot find there as of http://www.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/opensuse/updates/11.4/x86_64/MozillaFirefox-translations-other-9.0-0.2.1.x86_64.html :-(

Yes, I did install that package. I don't see a dictionaries directory under /usr/lib64/firefox/extensions/langpack-th@firefox.mozilla.org/ at all. :/

I reported as an Opensuse bug also. Maybe opening http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=742640 can bring some help on my side!

BTW, if the code inside hunspell is responsible (it seems to be) shouldn't we report on their project also??

We could do that too, but without somebody being able to reproduce this, there is a little chance that it will get fixed.

Seems somebody filed a duplicate of this bug: Bug 710940
I think my earlier attempt with an aurora build suffered from lack of suitable data files, but my crash analysis from comment 7 and comment 8 matches the given bug.
