Firefox will sometimes completely crash the Xorg which then restarts itself. It happens randomly and rarely but does happen. It only always happens while pressing keys or clicking the mouse. Its not reproduceable Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter text into a form in firefox eventually X may crash 2. or Click on items until it crashes 3. Actual Results: X server crashes and dies killing kde, firefox etc Expected Results: Nothing This may be a bit hard to debug is there something I can do to increase the debug information.

Looks like either Xorg or Firefox runs out of memory. Since you're not providing any audit or debug output or hardware specs, or dmesg output or system log output (why did you post only a few lines from the Xorg log?) referring to one of those kills/crashes, there's nothing we can do now. Also, Xorg getting killed because Firefox eats too much memory isn't exactly a new issue and isn't Gentoo specific, unless you can prove that in specific cases it really is. Please reopen this bug report when you find such a case, or just file a new one with the specific information.
OK explain this... sometimes it crashes consistently, doing the same thing, like immediately after reloading e.g. crashes, restarts, loads the webpage, enter the same thing into the form, crashes, restarts, loads the webpage, enter the same thing into the form, crashes, restarts, loads the webpage, enter the same thing into the form, etc usually it isnt consistent but sometimes it is and then it works, it gets past that and continues on as expected with no other crashes for who knows how long (I'm talking weeks), I can even go back to the same form enter the same info and again it will not crash, rarely it will. It doesnt matter which form e.g. gmail, facebook, any login. But when it crashes almost immediatley after reloading it can't possibly be a memory issue, what stops it from happening sometimes and works as expected. It also only happens 90% of the time when pressing a key. I can understand memory issues while loading pages and so on, but not after the page has loaded and I've enter things into forms then I push a key to crash everything. There is nothing in dmesg when it crashes How do I get a debug log? I only posted a few line from Xorg because the first few line are from when it starts the rest appears after it crashes and sometimes nothing gets posted to the xorg log I will post the entire xorg log and lspic at home
