Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
To reproduce: go to Wikipedia, edit a page, firefox crashes.
On a new page, firefox only crashes when text is entered into the textarea.
Console error message:
/usr/lib/
Ubuntu version: xubuntu 'gutsy' after ordinary distribution upgrade from 'feisty'
Firefox package version: 2.0.0.8+1nobin
Workaround: Go to Edit->Preferenc
Comment: it appears that firefox is linked against a different version of the library that provides the spell-checker, which is activated when a textarea is populated, than the one that is installed. This is pretty nasty. Having to kludge it with such a workaround sucks.
maybe you installed a dictionary extension or something from a 3rd party when using feisty?
Please attach your $HOME/. mozilla/ pluginsreg. dat and the terminal output of:
find ~/.mozilla/ firefox/ */extensions/ -name install.rdf | xargs grep em:name
Thank,
