firefox crashed with SIGSEGV

[Ofir Klinger]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Hello,

Accidentally opening 10 tabs at a time (right click on the bookmark toolbar and click "Open All in Tabs") caused firefox to hang (the window went black), and when I clicked the window close button a dialog came up asking if I want to "Force Quit". I forced quit and then the system told me that a crash was detected.

I hope this will help you.

Hi,

firefox extensions are the cause for the majority of bugs reported against firefox.

To check that the bug you are seeing is actually a firefox one (and not an extension one), please disable your extensions one-by-one (restart firefox in between) until there is either no enabled extension left or your problem is resolved.

Please report your findings back.

Thanks,
 - Alexander
