Bug 327637 – www-client/mozilla-firefox-3.6: bus errors when mousing over a 'Persona'

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description matt 2010-07-09 17:05:29 UTC]

visiting a url which contains the new firefox persona themes and them mousing over a persona immediately causes firefox to crash with 'Bus Error'.

this has in my experience been the case in all releases in the 3.6 series, including 3.6.6, from which this backtrace is taken.

firefox and xulrunner were compiled with '-ggdb3 -O1'.

thanks,
-matt

Please do not change the severity level, this is used by developers to indicate major breakages on mainline archs.
