[Bug 124424] Re: MASTER firefox crashed [@nsTextFrame::Paint] [@nsContainerFrame::PaintChild] [@nsContainerFrame::PaintChildren]

[Michael Moore]

Ok, I can reproduce this. I am fully up to date with Gutsy Tribe 5 as of
September 5, 10:30 PM, Mountain Standard Time.

I moved my .mozilla folder aside and do the following:

1) Run firefox this way -- I can try another way if a dev prefers it
 /usr/lib/firefox/run-mozilla.sh -g /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin -d gdb 2>&1 | tee gdb-firefox-crash.txt

2) Enter the debugging info into gdb as per
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace

3) I don't import any bookmarks from other browsers. (1st time setup
because I moved ~/.mozilla)

4) Paste in URL http://www.et.byu.edu/groups/it466/schedule.htm

5) Double click "Google Concept Mapping" in the first notes cell.
Firefox now crashes

6) Enter the rest of the gdb stuff from the wiki

At least tonight I can reproduce this crash every single time. :-) 
Since I moved my .mozilla folder, I don't have any Firefox plugins installed. I also removed the flash and java plugins prior to running this test (it crashes exactly the same with them installed or not). 

System notes:
P4 3 GHz, 1GB RAM
I think this box started as an Edgy box, but it might have been a Feisty beta.
I had turned the computer only only a few minutes before performing this test. 
I do have a handfull of freebie fonts in my home directory, but none of them is DejaVu anything. 

Other: 
When I just run "firefox" from the command line, I get the following: 

me at Elements:/tmp$ firefox

(gecko:9962): Pango-WARNING **: failed to create cairo scaled font, expect ugly output. the offending font is 'DejaVu Serif Oblique 11.9990234375'
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
me at Elements:/tmp$ 

Please let me know what I can do. I don't have a ton of time, but could
invest a couple of hours if it would help squash this bug. Konqueror is
OK, but I miss Firefox.
