My FF has crashed out of the blue (not for the first blue)

[hawran]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I've had a quick look into a core file using gdb and it's within some xulrunner.
If I recall it correctly it was a reason for a couple of previous crashes.

From gdb:

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.

Hi Pedro,
Well, I'd say it doesn't happen so often, however I've just found more than one core file within my home:

As you can see, I've upgraded, however, it's cored.
If my memory serves me well, I think I had some youtube video open. Most problems I can see from time to time are with videos ...

If you need more information, feel free and ask for. However, in case you need whatever, please, send some instructions how to get it as I'm not much familiar with all that stuff, :-)

Regards,
hawran

[Victor Vargas (kamus)]

Since this report have a long time without activity, could you check (if is possible) in latest version included in Karmic if this issue is still happening? Thanks in advance.

[hawran (hawran.diskuse)]

Hi Kamus,
I'd like to help you, however, I've been using Fedora for a couple of months...
