[gentoo-user] firefox 3.0.10 crashes

[gentoo-user] firefox 3.0.10 crashes

[dhk]

Ever since I upgraded firefox to version 3 it crashes when certain pages 
are opened.  Currently I have version 3.0.10 and amd64.  I've been 
hoping the problem would get fixed, but it hasn't been yet.  For example 
I can not even go to ebay ( http://www.ebay.com ), the page flashes and 
then firefox crashes.  Does anyone know what's causing this and how it 
can be fixed?

Thanks,

dave

Can't confirm.  That page works fine here.  Actually, I don't remember 
3.0.10 ever crashing once.

My guess would be flash... try uninstalling flash, java,
nspluginwrapper, disabling add-ons, etc one by one until you find the
cause.

In addition to what others have said, try a fresh profile.  Just close
Firefox, rename the directory with .old on the end, then restart firefox
and see if that helps.  If it still crashes, you may want to try opening
it in a console to see if that helps any.  You may get a error of some
kind to check into.

Just additional thoughts.

I've encountered this as well.  In fact, since I upgraded firefox from.
This has been happening at both work (Windoze) and home (Gentoo).

I've had a problem since FF 3.0.8 when I ask to "print" an article
from 'Spectator' magazine (needed to get the story in  1  page).
I submitted a bug to Firefox, but nothing has happened.
I've taken to using Konqueror instead, when I read 'Spectator',
which doesn't suffer from the problem.

I tried by moving the old .mozilla directory to .mozilla.old and started 
Firefox on the command line and the results were the same.  When I went 
to ebay it crashed and the only output was: "Illegal instruction".

Then I uninstalled nspluginwrapper:
# emerge -Cp nspluginwrapper

Firefox crashed after going to ebay.

Then I installed nspluginwrapper:
# emerge nspluginwrapper

Firefox still crashed after going to ebay.

What else?

Thanks all

I don't know if this will help or not but this is what adblock reports
as loadable links for http://www.ebay.com/ .  Anybody see anything "funny"?

If you see something that may be causing issues and have adblock
installed, you can add the link to your adblock then try to load the
page.  Of course, whatever is broke needs to be fixed but you got to
find it first.  I don't see any showckwave stuff but isn't .js java script?

Sorry for that really long line.  :/

It was the adobe-flash.  I uninstalled it and all was fine.  The emerge 
-pv adobe-flash looks like the following:
[ebuild  N    ] www-plugins/adobe-flash-10.0.22.87  USE="32bit (multilib)".

I installed it again and Firefox crashes on certain sites.  So now it's 
uninstalled again.  At least Firefox is stable now.  Is there a flash 
that works?

Thanks,

If you are on amd64 you could specify the -32bit use flag.

It doesn't work.  I tried adding www-plugins/adobe-flash -32bit to the 
package.use file and Firefox still crashes.
