Firefox crashed while opening a new tab.

Thank you for taking the time to file this bug report. Unfortunately I am unable to reproduce this bug and there is not enough information to fix it. Could you attach the crash log?

Are you able to reproduce it consistently?

Try with a new profile and other suggestions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs

Michael, I've tried twice to submit the crash log, but each time I end
up with a 500 Internal Server Error on the launchpad Web site.

I'm happy to e-mail you the log, but are you able to receive a 20 MB
e-mail?

I have not been able to reproduce the crash, and at least two of the Web
pages that I had within Firefox tabs at the time of the crash have now
changed.

Andrew go ahead and email me the crash report at <email address hidden> please so i can retrace it.

I have had issues with my email can you please send me the crash report at <email address hidden> please and add bug number to email so i know its for this bug. Thank You.

Happens quite regularly - may be a resources issue.
This machine is a Compaq Evo Tower - complete specs for 510c:
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/11349_na/11349_na.HTML?jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN#TechSpecs%20-%20Graphics

Performance is decent, although a little boggy since this is not really a 3D accelerated graphic chipset. Potential problem there?

Attached is the report file generated by the crash. I notice many others do not bother to include this - I hope it helps.

Taking for retrace.

byronne, Can you please list all extentions/addons/themes you have installed including video player and version?
Andrew i never received your crash report in my email.

John, not everyone can see these comments as they are linked to the beta page.

Also, why would your performance be affected by accelerated graphics? Do you have xgl/aiglx or beyl/compiz on your computer?

Freddy sorry forgot i was using beta

Thank you for the bug report. Could you please install the firefox-dbg package and try to obtain a backtrace (or crash report) by following the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs This will greatly aid us in tracking down your problem.

Which flash package and version do you have installed?
Which Java package and version do you have installed?
Which video player and version do you have installed?
Which firefox extensions and themes do you have installed?

Same thing happened to me when I tried to open a new tab. My current tabs were Google calendar, Picasa Webalbum.

I'm running version 2.0.0.2 with plugins
Shockwave Flash 9.0 r31
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.5.0_06

Cheers

Michael in the future please attach the crash file to a new bug report. I will see what i can do with it this time. Thank you for reporting your crash.

Is this still an issue for you? We are trying to trying sort out the older Mozilla issues and would like to know if this still happens.

Thanks for the follow-up.
It has not reoccurred for quite some time, so I would venture that a patch
somewhere along the line addressed this. Whether it was a patch to Beryl or
Firefox I cannot be sure.
Thanks again,
Bryan

John, the problem has not recurred here at all recently. It is no
longer an issue as far as I am concerned.

Seems fixed via user comments.
