firefox causes X to crash when openning a large page

[Eric BREHAULT]

Binary package hint: firefox

when I open this url:
http://tigress.com/nobs/apache2-error-messages.html
with Firefox beta 5 under Hardy
Firefox starts loading the page, and suddenly, X crashes
(I have reproduced it several times on 2 different machines)

[Rob Escriva (me-robescriva)]

Are you running any firefox addons? I'm running a fresh install of firefox on hardy, and it doesn't crash on that page. If you could give a list of plugins I can see if I can reproduce this error.

[Eric BREHAULT (ebrehault)]

I have just Web Developer Toolbar
and my colleague (who also gets this bug) has Web Developer Toolbar and FireBug

we both use the French Firefox version

Hi Eric,

Can you try to reproduce this bug with no loaded extensions? To do this, run Firefox from terminal with "firefox -safe-mode". Thanks.

[Eric BREHAULT (ebrehault)]

Hi Sasa,

I have tried in safe mode, and it crashes just the same.

Regards,
Eric

Can you try using a clean profile? Start Firefox from terminal using "firefox -ProfileManager", make a new profile, and then open the page using that profile. I can't reproduce this bug so far.

[Eric BREHAULT (ebrehault)]

I have tried.

It does the same.

I will ask someone else to test it (now most of my colleagues have
upgraded to Hardy)

I confirm the same bug happen with my other colleague laptop.
So at the moment, we reproduce the bug on all our Hardy machines.
(and it works fine on our Feisty machines)

Can you provide further information about your machine? (nvidia or ati, type of video card, x86/AMD64)

And also try running a GDM backtrace to get some further information on the stack dump.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace

[Bruno Duarte (mail-brunoduarte)]

I confirm that happens the same thing with me on that page and on http://www.filegate.net/pdnjava/
I have a Latitude D830..

I attach the gdm output but it didn't print the statcktrace. Basically everything crashes and X returns to the login screen!

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Do you have nvidia card 8xxx series with the drivers nvidia-glx-new from ubuntu repos?

[John Vivirito (gnomefreak)]

Please follow the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs on how to obtain a backtrace as this is the only true way to know what is going on with the crash.

[Bruno Duarte (mail-brunoduarte)]

lol.. I tried with the gdb instructions of the page you provided but gdb also crashes:
[Thread 0xb432ab90 (LWP 10985) exited]
[Thread 0xb2fffb90 (LWP 10988) exited]
[New Thread 0xb432ab90 (LWP 10990)]
[New Thread 0xb2fffb90 (LWP 10991)]
firefox: Fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server :0.0.

Program exited with code 01.

I have a NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M but even without the drivers of the repo the thing crashes.

If you are using nvidia card 9xxx series with nvidia-glx-new you are
seeing bug #212648. but please let us know the answers to Alexander and
