This must be a dupe of bug #212814?

[Gab (contini-mailing)]

Yes i do think so. I couldn't find the bug #212814 when i reported this one.

[Gergely Janossy (marcabru)]

I can confirm the crash with this command line:

firefox "http://index.hu/x?cbl=2&c15_28_1=http%3A%2F%2Findex.hu%2Fpolitika%2Fbelfold%2Fflvo080705%2F"

with firefox-3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 and xulrunner-1.9-1.9+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1

Yip, I have the same problem browsing "foxsports"

see: firefox "http://www.foxsports.com.au/cricket/video/0,,Cricket%20News_9095,00.html"

Same problem here, sometimes, with firefox-3.0_3.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.3 and http://www.gazzetta.it .

Resetting not frequently reported old crash reports.

Thanks for your contribution,

Same problem here, with firefox-3.0- 3.0.4+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1
Seems to only crash some of the time, often not when other tabs are open. Also on meebo.com.
