Thank you ryanpg for submitting this report.

The report you have submitted lacks either stacktrace debug symbols and
the core dump.

Could you please try to obtain a backtrace by following the instructions
on [1], or upload the crash report that probably was generated during
the crash and that should be located at /var/crash/ to [2].

Please indicate which extensions/plugins do you have enabled; and if
this crash is reproducible describe the steps that lead to it (it is
very important for us to have a test case for each crash).

This will greatly aid us in tracking down your problem.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your report.

Unfortunately, your crash report was produced with a kernel version that had a glitch and didn't produce enough information for us to process.

Thanks for your contribution and keep on submitting firefox crash reports,

I am seeing the same problem everytime I click a download link (lins that you can't right click and do same as e.g Firefox download link http://en.www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-2.0.0.6&os=linux&lang=en-US ) will consistently crash Firefox. When Firefox is run from the terminal the following messages are displayed

semakwetu@kompyuta:~$ firefox

OK apologies I have just tested and found this is a GNOME theme problem. I had tried extensions and Firefox themes but problem still occurred. But I noticed the problem didn't exist if I was logged on as root so I changed my user's appearance/them back the Human theme and the problem seems to have disappeared... now to workout what s causing the problem in the theme because I really like it :-)

Best Wishes,
Steve

Hi Steve na Martha,

what theme was causing the problem?

Please fill a new bug report (we prefer a different report for each crash), and if possible attach the firefox crash report that should have been generated and that should be located at /var/crash/.

Thanks in advance.
