Firefox 3.0 crashes when logging into "newer" Gmail

Bug Description

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:

Sorry about jumping into conclusion that this was a duplicate as they look similar but it may be due to different issues.

Could you please try to obtain a backtrace by following the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs, or upload (as an attachment) the crash report from /var/crash/.

Also, please answer these questions:
Is this crash reproducible? If so, which are the steps that lead to it?
Is this crash reproducible with a new profile and with all extensions disabled?
Which flash package do you have installed?
Which Java package do you have installed?

This will greatly aid us in tracking down your problem.

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 !
