intrepid: firefox v3.0.2 blows up when loading a folder of links

[Sam Williams]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I use firefox 3.0.2 downloaded from the Intrepid repository. I frequently take advantage of Firefox's ability to load a folder of links with just a single keypress. One of the smaller folders that I do that with has been exported as an html file called SocNews.html. Before I upgraded to Intrepid Hardy would handle this folder with out fail.

My machine is running with 1Gbyte of ram and 2 gbytes of swap.

Are you referring to the "Open all in tabs" option in a folder? If so I was not able to recreate this bug using Firefox version 3.0.3+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 and a folder of 25 links. If not, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug report? Additionally, what do you specifically mean by Firefox blows up? Does the application actually crash or is it just slow? Thanks in advance.

so what happens if you do this? do you get a crash? If so, we need a crash report. There are some ways described on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs#Crashes. If you have a .crash file for firefox /var/crash/ you can also submit that by double-clicking on it.

This bug was reported in the Intrepid development cycle; removing regression-potential and marking as regression-release.
