firefox crash

[Craig Forbes]

I had 4 tabs open, one an audio stream and the active tab checking gmail. As I tried to delete mail, it crashed.

John,
When I added the two lines to my sources.list I got the following error:
forbescw@forbescw-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get update
E: Type 'wget' is not known on line 64 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list

I don't know what to do next.
Thanks.
Craig

Only add deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/ddebs edgy main universe to your repos. The wget command is to get his key so you dont get the key warnings. Instead of running sudo apt-get install yelp-dbgsym commnad change the yelp to the package you want the symbols on.

Thanks for your bug report.

A follow up on John's questions.

Could you please install firefox-dbg and try to obtain a backtrace (or crash report) by following the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingFirefox This will greatly aid us in tracking down your problem.

It is of particular interest that you run apport-retrace against your crash report.

Which flash package do you have installed?
Which Java package do you have installed?
Which firefox extensions do you have installed?

Thanks
David

I'll try and get the dbg info you requested. I'm not sure I follow all the instructions but will attempt.

I am running flash v 9.1.21.55
Java 1.5.0_08
firefox adblock plus, noscript, fasterfox, enhanced history manager, toodledo
thanks,
Craig

once you get the debug report we need can you please try removing one plugin at a time and attempt to get it to crash. also once you can get it to crash you can attach the apport log in /var/crash
