Firefox 3.0b4 crashes on Yahoo Mail (javascript ?)

[Francois Thirioux]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Only since the new beta 4 my Firefox (on Hardy) crashes everytime i do :

1- go on Yahoo mail (the new one)
2- read a message and delete it
3- new tab to kubuntu-fr.org (e.g. ;-) )

It seems to be a Java issue ?

The console shows "Core dumped" when a crash happens.

Have the same problem on Hardy beta 6 and Firefox 3.0b4
Crash appears a bit more random but usually happens when moving around folders in the new Yahoo mail.

Just to confirm that Yahoo mail is crashing Firefox consistently after deleting messages and then changing folders. I get this console error message

(npviewer.bin:15036): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_style_detach: assertion `style->attach_count > 0' failed
Floating point exception (core dumped)

Same crash here. Consistently crashes after deleting one or a few messages.
Console error message was:
Floating point exception

This is on Hardy Beta as of March 22.

I tried Windows XP and I have the same crash.

I have the same painful experience. I don't know if it helps, but when I tried to lauch the new Yahoo mail in Opera, that crashed as well.

Thanks for your report, I'm setting this as Incomplete until someone gets a stacktrace of the crash, Please use apport for it and post a comment on this report linking to the other report, thanks in advance.

[mystictim (timgillibrand-yahoo)]

With the latest Hardy updates and Firefox 3.0b5 this is no longer a problem for me and Yahoo is working fine.

[Geoff123 (gsking1)]

With upgrade the problem has gone away for me also.

[Tom (tlynch999)]

I'm set here, too...nice work, all!
