It seems to be more or less repeatable. After logging into Gnome for the first time if I have two tabs and attempt to drag one tab to a different location then it crashes. Not every time, but often. When I start firefox-bin a second time it recognizes that it crashed, restarts the previous session, and at this point it doesn't crash if I drag tabs around. I have also had this happen multiple times hitting an Attach File button in GMail. I will say that this seems to have started roughly after the last time I wrote to the list asking about Java & Flash support. I changed a number of things at that time & I can go back and look them up if folks think it's really involved. However this seems a strange thing to blame on Java or Flash. That work is still in .bash_history so I can at least get a rough idea of what I was doing if it seems important. There is little to configure for firefox-bin itself. I've attached the emerge command for reference. I've tried running firefox-bin in a terminal but I don't get any info. I should probably learn how to use something like gdb but I'm resistant. Anyway, I'm mainly looking for ideas about what to consider looking at to fix this. It's getting frustrating. It crashed 4 times yesterday.
