Created attachment 381136 [details] gdb backtrace I can make Firefox crash by visiting the following website: https://earnabit.com/. It's a segmentation fault. Firefox crashes even if I start with a clean profile (rm ~/.mozilla -r). I also have Firefox 30.0 on a Ubuntu system, but it doesn't crash. This is why I'm filing this bug here instead of on Mozilla bugzilla. I'm attaching a backtrace that I obtained with the following procedure: $ gdb firefox run set logging file firefox.log set logging on thread apply all bt set logging off quit. I don't know if this is correct way to obtain a backtrace for Firefox. I emerged www-client/firefox, dev-libs/glib, dev-libs/libevent, dev-libs/nspr and sys-libs/glibc with the "debug" USE flag, the "nostrip" FEATURES option and the "-ggdb" C(XX)FLAGS option.

It crashed the first time I tried to load that URL. The second time around, it didn't. Cache related?
In my case Firefox crashed every time it tried to load that URL, even without clearing the cache.
Upgraded to www-client/firefox-31.0 and it doesn't crash anymore. Can anyone confirm this? ------- $ emerge -pv firefox These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Since it's apparently "fixed" in 31.x and the URL doesn't resolve for me anymore, can we close this?
