[Bug 216354] [NEW] firefox crashed with SIGSEGV in __kernel_vsyscall()

[Franco Sirovich]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Firefox 3.0b5 crashed when the crash report program (activated for a crash on jockey-gtk) opened it.
This crash is reported by double-clicking on /var/crash/_usr_lib_firefox-3.0b5_firefox.1000.crash, following the instruction given in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/184957/comments/19, becuase the crash reported I submitted earlier was missing a valid backtrace.
Actually, almost all the reports from a crash with Firefox I submitted are missing the backtrace. Is tehre anything I can do to have a good crash report aubmitted. Otherwise it makes no sense to spend time to report!
