Firefox 3.0 crashes when logging into "newer" Gmail

[phinn]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

The final build of Firefox 3.0 crashes logging into the "newer" Gmail quite often. With a newly opened browser open its not as common as when I have other windows open, make a new tab, and login. That always results in a crash.

The work around for this problem is to bookmark the "older" Gmail and use that. This doesn't use all the Ajax the newer one does. The link for it to default to the "older" version is this:

I cannot reproduce this bug on a fully up-to-date Hardy x86_64 system. I'm using openjdk 6 and swfdec 0.7.4 (compiled because of because of a bug with Hardy's 64bit swfdec and sound).

If you are still experiencing this issue, please provide the requested information. If not, please say so.

This bug has been fixed with Firefox 3.0.1 anyway so if your fully up-to-date system has that then that is probably why. All versions of Gmail work fine (for me at least) and no longer crash.

Hi,
In the 3.0.1 everything is ok. I think the javascript ( AJAX ) engine was the reason.
Thanks guys, hurry up with the new and fast jit compiler engine! We are waiting for !
