[Matthias Klose (doko)]

there is an old version of xulrunner-1.9.1 installed on the machine, please remove this version and eclipse should work

[Michael Nagel (nailor)]

i can confirm that uninstalling old versions of xulrunner resolves the crashes.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

[Expired for eclipse (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

[Alexandr Novel (normalex)]

Removing xulrunner 1.9.1 resolves this bug.

[John Spitzer (john-spitzer)]

Many Thanks. I have known about the resolution of this bug for quite
some time. I don't know what the procedure is to mark as
resolved/fixed a bug. I am quite happy for you to do this,
Cheers,
John
