Mozilla 1.7.5 has been randomly crashing on me (all windows close with no warning), but today it crashed twice when I tried to paste into the Cornell University WebMail email body text box (CU uses SquirrelMail, I don't know what version). The two crashes were with different text - once a full email body from elsewhere, the second time with the URL http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20040812.html . I'm going to start running Mozilla from the command line to see if there are any error messages emitted before/during the crash. This may or may not be an AMD64-specific bug. I apologize for the vagueness of this report - I'll add information as I gather it, but this is an intermittent, seemingly random problem. It's happened to me other places than SquirrelMail, but I unfortunately neglected to note them. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run Mozilla. 2. Do something. Pasting into SquirrelMail worked twice for me, but many other times it did not cause a crash, including pasting the exact same text into the same place. Actual Results: Mozilla crashes, closing all windows. Expected Results: Pasted text appears in the text box (or whatever else you were doing works).

It just happened to me again, this time while clicking on the search text box for the Gentoo forums. I had already started typing my search query before I realized that the text box did not have focus. Mozilla crashed, either just before or immediately when I clicked on the text box. The error message I got in the console was: /usr/bin/mozilla: line 392: 990 Segmentation fault $mozbin "$@" If someone thinks it would be useful, I can run an strace, but the file may reach hundreds of megs (hours of use of Mozilla) before it crashes again.
Please, reopen with some backtrace of the crash if you are able to reproduce the issue with up-to-date mozilla version, otherwise there's not much we could do about this.
