Bug 103562 – mozilla-firefox locks up at seemingly random times

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Brian Kreulen 2005-08-24 01:29:13 UTC]

For the past six weeks, firefox has been crashing on my system (not on my other
Gentoo systems) at seemingly random times. Upon further investigation it seems
to be isolated to the following events:

-Loading a page with a video stream on it (handled my mplayerplug-in)
-Loading a page with a real stream
-Loading a m3u file. This is passed properly to xmms, but then firefox crashes

Note that these are not definately reproduceable, as it takes many tries to get
the program to crash.

I've tried both the binary and compiled version. I've also tried with the debug
flags compiled in, the output of which I've made available (last 200 lines of
stderr and stdout. Full logs, all 140megs of them, available upon request)

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Just browse the types of pages listed above. It will eventually happen
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
it crashed

Expected Results:  
It shouldn't have crashed

stdout available here: http://bkreulen.servebeer.com:8080/log_tail.out
