[EDGY] firefox crashed [@strlen] [@__libc_res_nquerydomain]

[gazbert]

Binary package hint: firefox

Hi

I was going to tag onto bug #69750 but I noticed it's been closed.

Crash occurred when I had just Firefox open on ubuntu edgy linux - guess you'll get all the version details from the crash report.
All I did was click on link to checkmail in hotmail and the browser suddenly disappeared. I only had 1 tab open in the browser.

Hope the crash report helps - keep up the good work :-)

Hi

This bug hasn't happened again, but that could be down to my environment changing - I have upgraded to Feisty as well as taken the latest Firefox updates.

If I get any new problems with my new configuration, I'll open a new bug.

Thanks
Gareth
