Hi, |
| 2 |
I'm wondering if anyone else is suffering the problems I am with |
| 3 |
firefox-bin crashing a few times every day. It seems to be more or |
| 4 |
less repeatable. After logging into Gnome for the first time if I have |
| 5 |
two tabs and attempt to drag one tab to a different location then it |
| 6 |
crashes. Not every time, but often. When I start firefox-bin a second |
| 7 |
time it recognizes that it crashed, restarts the previous session, and |
| 8 |
at this point it doesn't crash if I drag tabs around. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
I have also had this happen multiple times hitting an Attach File |
| 11 |
button in GMail. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
I will say that this seems to have started roughly after the last |
| 14 |
time I wrote to the list asking about Java & Flash support. I changed |
| 15 |
a number of things at that time & I can go back and look them up if |
| 16 |
folks think it's really involved. However this seems a strange thing |
| 17 |
to blame on Java or Flash. That work is still in .bash_history so I |
| 18 |
can at least get a rough idea of what I was doing if it seems |
| 19 |
important. |

|
| 21 |
There is little to configure for firefox-bin itself. I've attached |
| 22 |
the emerge command for reference. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I've tried running firefox-bin in a terminal but I don't get any |
| 25 |
info. I should probably learn how to use something like gdb but I'm |
| 26 |
resistant. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Anyway, I'm mainly looking for ideas about what to consider looking |
| 29 |
at to fix this. It's getting frustrating. It crashed 4 times |
| 30 |
yesterday. |

Thanks, |
