[Bug 675127] Re: Firefox crashes on startup

 

Olof Staffans, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc8

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Firefox crashes on startup

Status in NULL Project:
  Invalid
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have had a problem for over a year that the system freezes from
  time to time. This has appeared in the three last distributions (9.10,
  10.4, 10.10). I have all the time suspected problems with the graphics
  driver, but not been able to trace the exact reason.  "Freeze" means
  that there is no reaction to the mouse or keyboard, and I have to shut
  it down by pressing the power button. Lately it has started to freeze
  after logging in from the graphics window within 30 seconds.

  Today I traced the problem to Firefox: After I renamed my .kde the
  system became stable. Typically I have not close down Firefox before
  logging out, and kde automatically started up Firefox as soon as I
  logged in.

  Now the system is stable if I do not start up Firefox.  When I start
  up Firefox it freezes.
