This is consistently reproducible. I observed the problem in version 1.5.0.5 as well. I have attempted to use a new profile and have deleted all .mozilla and .firefox files, and it has not rectified the problem. Steps to reproduce: Click on a link to an external application. E.g. http://www.mrtr.org/river/MRTRcoursemap.pdf the browser then freezes and I am forced to kill -9 all running threads.

Created attachment 95089 [details] stdout and stderr from a +debug build of mozilla-firefox 1.5.0.6 Apparently it crashes on uploads too because I had to switch to another computer to upload the attachment. Is this a MIME issue?
I am not sure if I have this same problem. firefox-bin simply crashes immediately on any download.
Is this still an issue ... no comment within 72 hours will equal bug being closed as need-info
(In reply to comment #3) > Is this still an issue ... no comment within 72 hours will equal bug being > closed as need-info > Yup, still an issue (and still annoying). Suspecting that this was some sort of interplay between firefox and other packages, I did an "emerge -e world" and then deleted the old profile and made a fresh one. No dice. For some reason I think that it's some problem between firefox and some of the gnome packages, but I don't know everything that firefox interacts with...
So this issue is continuing on 1.5.0.9?
Yes, unfortunately it continues on to 1.5.0.9 BTW Here is a warning that I receive each time firefox locks up: (Gecko:3557): gnome-vfs-modules-WARNING **: Could not initialize inotify In this instance, 3557 is the pid of firefox

If not attach a backtrace.
Resolving NEEDINFO as per comment #7.
(In reply to comment #8) > Resolving NEEDINFO as per comment #7. > I solved this problem. My kernel apparently did not have inotify support (CONFIG_INOTIFY=y) compiled in. After I did so, everything has been working great. Would you be able to add a clearer warning message to the gnome-vfs-modules-WARNING (comment #6) pointing to the kernel, so that people are able to more easily diagnose this problem in the future?
No, we cannot. If you really want that changed poke gnome-vfs. Resolving.
