Package: iceweasel Version: 3.0.3-3 Severity: normal Since making the latest upgrades and rebooting iceweasel has crashed repeatedly. It does so fairly frequently, though not completely deterministically as far as I can tell. The problem is quite serious for me.
Also, although I installed the debugging package, it looks as if the symbols are not being found. The problems seem to be associated with the New York Times web site, though there may have been other culprits. In the traced case I ran iceweasel -g -safe-mode and opened http://www.nytimes.com/pages/books/index.html. You probably need to have a (free) account to access the page. I think I've seen similar issues with the front page and with other sites (zap2it.com's TV grid). I'm running under KDE3 with alsa. The page seems to load completely, but the progress spinner keeps going. Then, typically after a minute or two, the program crashes. Here is a trace. Note that there was some problem after the initial run command, requiring a further continue: GNU gdb 6.8-debian Copyright (C) 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Backtrace stopped: frame did not save the PC (gdb) q .xsession-errors shows X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3 Major opcode: 19 Minor opcode: 0 Resource id: 0x5a0003a Comments and additional info: I have not had sound from within iceweasel for quite awhile. It seems (errors about opening dsp) there is some problem hooking up to alsa. I do use debian-multimedia, and in the last update went from flashplugin-nonfree 9.0.115.0.1 to flashplayer-mozilla 1:10.0.12.36-0.1. When these problems arose, I removed the latter package as well. Since neither are installed and I started in safe mode it is certainly surprising to see libflash-mozplugin.so on the stack. dpkg -S says it belongs to libflash-mozplugin, which I think is part of the main Debian distribution. In earlier use, the crashing seemed particularly likely to happen when I did some kind of a switch: * when I close a window with multiple tabs, and confirm that I want to do that, the program is likely to crash (I had other windows) * when I switch to a different KDE virtual screen, the program seems likely to crash (though it might just be that this allows enough time for the program to crash by the time I switch back) * when I open up another tab, that also sometimes coincided with a crash. This feels as if it might be a library version mismatch problem. I know this isn't much to go on; let me know how I can help. P.S. It would be nice to have the debugging tips that appear when one runs reportbug iceweasel accessible as a text file under /usr/share/doc/iceweasel. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (990, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages iceweasel depends on: ii debianutils 2.30 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii fontconfig 2.6.0-1 generic font configuration library ii libc6 2.7-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.11-4 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libnspr4-0d 4.7.1-4 NetScape Portable Runtime Library ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii procps 1:3.2.7-8 /proc file system utilities ii psmisc 22.6-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii xulrunner-1.9 1.9.0.3-1 XUL + XPCOM application runner iceweasel recommends no packages.
