Hi Ginn, Look like we are getting firefox crashes because of double free of memory. What are the steps that we can isolate that it is a result or using jemalloc and narrowed it down to where the dup free is without having to compile firefox?
One reason why the print dialog is most sensitive because it is a dynamic loadable backend and only Sun uses a PAPI backend and hence not well tried in the community.
