I can easily reproduce this. Maybe it has something to do with my Wacom tablet?

Hello Wouter,

Is this still an issue for you? We are trying to sort this issue and would like to know if this still happens.

If it can be reproduced, please describe the steps to do it.

Thanks in advance.

yes it is. ffox is incredibly unstable on a livecd in my configuration. it might also have to do with the totem plugin,

[Wouter (woutervanwijk-netscape)]

a report for totem is in 121553

So this only happens on a live cd run? Maybe you can give details
about your configuraiton and a step-by-step instruction on how to
crash firefox in this way?

We have not received any duplicates for some time. Thus, this crash was likely due to some unique plugin extension combination or has been fixed in the meantime. Please, reopen it at any time if you have more related info.

Thanks for your contribution. Don't hesitate to submit new crashes,

[Wouter (woutervanwijk-netscape)]

sorry, but that's impossible, since the bug occured on a livecd session.

[Wouter (woutervanwijk-netscape)]

It still happens, and it still happens both on the live CD and on my current installation (no plugins, new profile), so there is no solution yet. I even tried the Gutsy Tribe3 LiveCD, which also has the same unstable effect.

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Can you please give us step by step instructions on how to reproduce this, so we can run tests and see if we come up with same crash as you get.

[Alexander Sack (asac)]

we never saw a dupe for this.
