Comment 12 for bug 78809

I still do not have a way to reproduce this bug; I appreciate that this can't be helpful.

My Firefox is Edgy default with all security updates. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/60236 reports the same symptoms in Feisty and Dapper.

Since other applications are crashing as well (I originally reported the Nautilus problem as a separate bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395406, but I suspect they may be connected) this could well be in something other than Firefox itself. I have now installed the GTK debugging symbols. (Does Firefox still use GTK when started from a non-GNOME desktop? I've also seen this in Xfce, and #60236 has been reported from KDE)

I will try a clean profile test and #60236's ssh workaround next time the bug appears.
