Hi,
I have to handle a (now outdated) diskless openSUSE 11.1 desktop installation of about 30 systems in a company network. One of the customizations is Firefox 3.6.12 from the mozilla repo, consisting of MozillaFirefox-3.6.12-1.2, mozilla-xulrunner192-1.9.2.12-1.2, ... Kernel is a 2.6.31.13 also based on the openSUSE trees on gitorious.
Unfortunately, I'm getting complains of Firefox crashing often during the day without any user interaction, just displaying occasionly updated sites (without flash content), and I do suffer from these crashes, too.
Previous versions from that repo doesn't show this behavior. In that installation, only Firefox, flash and acrobat reader were updated lately, everything else was being kept as is for a few month running (rock solid!), therefor I can say, that this problem is triggered by changes in firefox related packages.
Last night, I've kept Firefox running under gdb control with just the build system monitor (where I was logged in) and a few of my project pages. The only "active" content was the monitor page occasionly updating. Today, I found:
Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe. [Switching to Thread 0xb43ffb90 (LWP 8683)] 0xffffe424 in __kernel_vsyscall () (gdb) bt
This is just a read thing, it waits for sending SSL traffic to somewhere on close and the remote socket might got closed too early.
Does this rings a bell for somebody? Any advice, how to circumvent this problem?
Perhaps other threads of firefox need to be inspected, check: info threads thread 1 bt thread 2 bt thread 3 to get all backtraces. (Not sure if "bt all" should work, it did not work for me).
