Gecko/20091105 Fedora/3.5.5-1.fc11 Firefox/3.5.5

Each time I visit a site we use at my university to give out handouts
etc. and I log out or close the tab that page is being shown in, Firefox
crashes.

I don't know how to get a crashdump or any other information about how
and why it crashes. The page is http://fronter.com/uit however you need
login credentials to get in there.

The reason I know it is that plugin is that I uninstalled it to see if
that helped. Firefox didn't crash but each time i went there it
complained about me not being able to chat because I lacked java.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to fronter.com/uit and log in
2. Log out or close that tab
Actual Results:  
Firefox crashes

Expected Results:  
That tab being closed, or me being logged out

It is also the case on my laptop so it isn't isolated to one machine.
Both are running Fedora 11 x86_64.

I did what you said, and here is the output. I hope there is no privacy

This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 11.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '11'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:

I tried the daily Firefox 3.7a x86_64 created 26 of June with Java (by
copying the symlink in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins to ~/.mozilla/plugins)
and was unable to reproduce the crash.

It is present in 3.6.4 and is just as annoying as always.

The logs above are with an older version of the plugin. I need to see
the logs of the new one to see what is happening. Thanks.

Would you mind running this with gdb to posting the results? it would
help track the issue immensly..

To do so, first as root run 'debuginfo-install -y java-1.6.0-openjdk
firefox'

Once everything is installed, close all firefox instances, and open up a
terminal. Run 'firefox -g 2>&1 | tee console.log' to start firefox
within gdb and log everything to the file named console.log.

Do the usual stuff to make the browser crash, and then back in the gdb
terminal, you'll see that it has caught the SIGSEGV.

There, type 'thread apply all bt'. This will dump all the thread data.
Then type exit and hit enter to exit out of gdb.

Please scan console.log to make sure it has no information you wouldn't
want public, and then attach it to this bug.

Once this is all done, you can remove the *-debuginfo rpms installed by
the debuginfo-install command.

It isn't something most people would have to do actually. Usually abrt
would grab a trace and allow you to automatically post it. I am
surprised it didn't pop up for you.

I've probably by accident reported 4 bugs about this from abrt.

Is there any chance I can get a temp account on that page to try it? I
suspect this is some sort of race condition (the error is happening in
Mozilla code and could be due to the plugin passing it an invalid
pointer caused by a race condition). If I could reproduce the problem
locally, it'd be a lot easier to fix and to test that it is in fact
fixed.

If you send her an e-mail asking for an account I am sure she will do
what she can to help you.

As a last resort I could offer you my log in details however it will be
a breach of regulations and common internet security and privacy sense.

I have moved to a different University that also uses Fronter and I'm
experiencing the crash on their sites as well. I sent an email to their
tech support email asking them to get in contact with you. Perhaps they
can provide a temporary account for you to reproduce the crash.

If they do, I hope that will speed up the fixing process. It affects me
a lot.

I am working on a fix for this, but it is quite complex and will only go
in icedtea-web 1.1 and higher. Since F14 uses the plugin from the

  Binary package hint: firefox

  Since I installed Maverick (2 days ago) everytime I want to use the
  Fronter Platform (some e-learning platform the University of Vienna
  uses) Firefox crashes. I allready tried to deinstall all Add-ons and I
  also deleted my ~/.mozilla folder to get rid of all settings. Nothing
  changes - Firefox crashes almost everytime I try to work on the
  platform. I'm not yet sure if other sites are affected aswell...
