Comment 31 for bug 60236

I installed clearlooks engine. One thing, however, is really odd. I started firefox and surely enough, clearlooks was working. After some time I got that segfault that caused firefox to close. Now I ran firefox in debug mode hoping I could generate a backtrace. I could almost swear this crash doesn't occur in debug mode. I mean it's been at least tripple the time it took when it crashed and still no sign of any crash. And I'm pounding firefox as usual. Strange. I'll give it more time and see what happens.

Now this may sound unlikely, but could it be that the firefox package was compiled from a non-stable source while the firefox-dbg library contains the stable source code? If I don't get that crash for much longer then this is the only likely possibility that comes to mind. By the way, my friend is using ubuntu feisty and he's getting the crash as well, so there's more to it than the gtk2 engine. I just feel the firefox package was not compiled with the same source code in firefox-dbg
