Description Nicolas Laplante 2005-12-13 14:57:00 UTC
When I try to browse my profile on MySpace, FireFox 1.5 crashes with the
following message on the console:

nicolas@niflheim ~ $ firefox
No running windows found

(Gecko:27896): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gsignal.c:1069: unable to lookup signal
"activate" of unloaded type `MaiAtkObject'

(Gecko:27896): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_emit_valist: assertion

mode 1
/usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 116: 27896 Segmentation fault      "$mozbin"
"$@"
firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (139)

In that profile I include the code to start a Windows Media Player object that
fetches an mp3 on another server. I think this is what makes FireFox crash.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open firefox
2. go to http://www.myspace.com/niflheim
3. cry

Actual Results:  
Firefox segfaulted

Expected Results:  
The page should have loaded without problems (it works on Windows with same
Firefox version)

This is a gtk+ issue. Mixing a stable system with testing if you only unmask
what is required your are gonna have problems. I am unable to duplicate your
problem using the lastest packages which are in testing.
