www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.0.3 seems to crash pretty randomly. Since I couldn't get any info when launching firefox from console, I tried with gdb. I attached the backtrace below. I have net-www/netscape-flash-10_rc20080915 and net-www/nspluginwrapper-1.1.0-r1 emerge --info: Portage 2.2_rc12 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.3.2, glibc-2.7-r2, 2.6.27 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.27-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-2_CPU_T7200_@_2.00GHz-with-glibc2.2.5 Timestamp of tree: Sun, 12 Oct 2008 06:36:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p33 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.6 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r13, 2.5.2-r8 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.2 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r2 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.1-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.26 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/svn/env /usr/kde/svn/share/config /usr/kde/svn/shutdown /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=nocona -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="ccache distlocks parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirror.ovh.net/gentoo-distfiles/ ftp://pandemonium.tiscali.de/pub/gentoo/ http://mirror.ing.unibo.it/gentoo/ ftp://mirror.ing.unibo.it/gentoo/ " LC_ALL="it_IT.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="it" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/var/paludis/repositories/x11" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X a52 aac accessibility acl acpi alsa amarok amd64 amd64codecs archive asf audiofile automount autoreplace avi bash-completion berkdb bluetooth branding browserplugin bzip2 cairo cdda cddb cdparanoia cdr cdrom cli clucene cracklib crypt cups curl cvs dbus dell divx dlloader dri dvd dvdr dvdread eds emboss encode esd evo fam fat ffmpeg firefox flac fortran fuse gdbm gif glitz gpm gstreamer gtk hal iconv ipv6 ipw3945 isdnlog jack java jpeg kde kdeenablefinal kerberos ldap libnotify lm_sensors logitech-mouse mad messenger midi mikmod mmx modplug mozilla mp2 mp3 mp4 mpeg mplayer msn mtp mudflap multilib musicbrainz ncurses njb nls nowlistening nptl nptlonly nsplugin ntfs ogg opengl openmp pam pcre pdf pdflib perl png ppds pppd python qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime rar readline realmedia reflection reiser4 reiserfs ruby samba sdl session smp sndfile spell spl sqlite3 sse sse2 ssl startup-notification subtitles subversion svg symlink sysfs syslog taglib tagwriting tcpd theora tiff truetype type1 udev unicode unzip usb vorbis wavpack wifi winbind wireshark wma wmp x264 xcomposite xfs xine xml xorg xv xvid zip zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filterheaders include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="mouse keyboard evdev synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="it" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="vesa radeon" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS Reproducible: Sometimes

Good that you got a backtrace, which shows that the crash is happening in libflash. Have you tried downgrading to flash 9 plugin to see if that version is more stable?
I'm pretty sure it doesn't crash with flash-9. But I'd like to keep using flash10, it has nice improvements... I guess I'll wait a newer version of flash :)
Are you running flash under nspluginwrapper? I think you must be, since you're running 32-bit plugin with 64-bit firefox. If so, then try upgrading to a newer version of nspluginwrapper, since the stable one was released well before flash 10. In fact, you might even want to try nspluginwrapper-1.2 in a local overlay, and submit a bump request if it works much better. Also I suggest trying the nspluginplayer app included starting in version 1.1; it looks convenient for trying out plugins without crashing your browser all the time http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/en/projects/nspluginwrapper/help#release_notes
I have updated to flash-10 and nspluginwrapper-1.1.2 in portage. I'll let you know if it still crashes.
Any more problems, or ok to close this bug?
yes, close this please. thanks
