firefox segfaults when opening a launchpad page

[Trifon Trifonov]

Binary package hint: firefox

Using firefox-3.6.3+nobinonly-0ubuntu4 on amd64, Ubuntu 10.04.

When trying to navigate to a launchpad page, for example https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/563181,
firefox crashes with a segmentation fault.

Running firefox in debug mode, yields the following debugging information:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00007ffff729f963 in AffixMgr::parse_file (this=0x7fffe316f000,
    affpath=<value optimized out>, key=<value optimized out>)
    at affixmgr.cpp:759
759 affixmgr.cpp: No such file or directory.
 in affixmgr.cpp

The problem persists when running firefox in safe mode with all addons disabled.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Could you please generate an apport crash report for this?
You can enable apport for one instance like this:
sudo service apport start force_start=1

I am marking this invalid as apport will open a new bug when the crash is generated. If it does not, you can reset the status of this one to New and we will try something else.
