Bug Description
Bug description :
Using firefox with wins enabled in /etc/netswitch.conf
# /etc/nsswitch.conf
.....
hosts: files wins mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
....
Causes firefox to crash over and over, on almost every site.
I don't know if this incorrect to add the wins section to the netswitch or what?
Removing the wins from the netswitch file and firefox works fine.
