Thank you fannt for submitting this report.

Could you please try to obtain a backtrace by following the instructions
on [1], or upload the crash report *with a coredump attached in it* to [2].

Please indicate which extensions/plugins do you have enabled; and if
this crash is reproducible describe the steps that lead to it (it is
very important for us to have a test case for each crash).

This will greatly aid us in tracking down your problem.

Thanks in advance.

H. Montoliu

i tried to reproduce the crash by following the instruction on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs#head-c576e78d92cb3c959c271158b6ace98be835de83
and got the log file i attatched.
for this time i used firefox without any extensions (but german language pack)

i can't remember of all tiny things i done to reproduce the crash, if this is very important, i could do that again and write everything i done.
in raw, i've started firefox from the konsole with
firefox -g 2>&1 | tee ~/Desktop/gdb-firefox.log
then i opened a new tab by clicking datei -> neuer tab.
i copied the address http://www.mariasolheim.com/temp/willthere.html in the new tab
i listened to the track 4 (i think) and after that to track six (i think). after that i clicked on the next album (...frail.html) and clicked on track 7 (natural silence).
after that i opened a new tab by the same way as before and opened http://mariasolheim.com/mp3/

(the last two steps (opening new tab and clicking on track 7) could be swapped, i don't know, sorry!)

i don't know exactly which window was activated, somewhen the browser stucked. i typed "bt full" in the konsole, then "thread apply all backtrace full", then quit and pressed "y" to confirm.
