I can confirm that this bug -- exactly as described by Oliver (https://bugs.launchpad.net/baltix/+source/firefox/+bug/19552/comments/75) -- still exists in all the releases of Firefox up to 3.0.3 (which is the newest that I've tested), on Fedora 6 and Fedora 8.
One thing that seems to drive it is a really *large* number of tabs (e.g. 10 windows with 25 tabs each). This is especially true if a number of those tabs are sites that auto-refresh frequently. Sites like mail.yahoo.com also seem to aggravate the problem; I assume it's doing refreshes behind the scene. With 250 tabs open, I'll get a crash after two or three days of browsing. With 250 tabs + auto-refreshing, time before a crash is typically about than a day. The "bad window" that opens doesn't always contain an entire page; sometimes it's just a frame or image belonging to another page. If you close the page that the frame/image belonged to, the bad window will close also. (This is the only way to make the bad windows go away without crashing Firefox). Since I can make these crashes happen on a fairly regular basis, I'd be happy to be a tester if someone wants me to run a debugging version of FF with extra logging. -- Crash after firefox is opening a new window (when it should open the new URL in the same window/tab) - No More Crash Report Please! https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/19552 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
