[Bug 726521] New: Firefox often crashes when closing a tab.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=726521 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=726521#c0 Summary: Firefox often crashes when closing a tab. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Factory Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.4 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox AssignedTo: bnc-team-mozilla@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: nfbrown@suse.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b12) Gecko/20110222 Firefox/4.0b12 Often when a I close a tab - one of about 12-18 typically - firefox will crash, pop up a window asking if I want to send a bug report (which I did once) and letting me request a restart. It restarts and opens all the tabs again. Then I can close the ones I don't want. But half an hour later it will crash again. There is no obvious pattern in the sort of tab that causes the crash. I am using "Tumbleweed" and update every week or so. This started happening with the last update (early this week - maybe 23rd October, or 24th). zypper search -s firefox shows i | MozillaFirefox | package | 4.0b12-1.2.1 | x86_64 | 11.4 so presumably this is an update in the 11.4 repo rather than the Tumbleweed repo. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run firefox and open a dozen of so tabs in the one window 2. Use firefox for a while normally 3. close a tab Actual Results: As mentioned: firefox crashes and displays an "I crashed" window. Expected Results: No crash. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

--- Comment #3 from Wolfgang Rosenauer
From the crash report it seems to be no "downgrade" crash though. There even is a bugreport with the crash signature: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=631784 but apparently only happening with 4.0beta.
The fix is most likely to upgrade to recent available versions from 11.4 update or mozilla repo. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
