report bp-5e971739-4cec-4c90-9e7a-075c12111017 .

This libvoikko seems to be some Finnish thing. Not sure if there is any relation to bug 682538.

The crash first happened on 2011-10-13 but exploded in the days after, being #25 in overall Firefox 7.0.1 numbers yesterday, with 494 processed (~5000 total) crashes.

One interesting thing is that correlations don't show any add-on with high correlations (except 60% having the Finnish dictionary, which is surely not causing this but telling us even more that this seems to be a Finnish thing), but the stack says that the library is being called via js-ctypes, which I thought needed chrome privileges - so I wonder how the JS code to call the library comes into Firefox without an add-on.

This seems to be part of the dictionary !

libvoikko is part of the Finnish spell checker for Firefox.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mozvoikko/+bug/832582 might be relevant.

I am using Windows Vista and Seamonkey and Finnish spellchecker seems to crash alltime. So I hope that you add those platforms.

Only 5 crashes in last week https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/search/?signature=~libvoikko&_facets=signature&_columns=date&_columns=signature&_columns=product&_columns=version&_columns=build_id&_columns=platform#crash-reports

If no one who commented previously still sees this crash, perhaps a new bug is needed?

Closing because no crash reported since 12 weeks.

FWIW, we dropped support for loading this DLL in 57. Hence, no crash.
