[Bug 263326] [NEW] Firefox 3.0.1 segfaults in xulrunner/libmozjs.so

[Mason D.]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

I've recently been getting incredibly frequent crashes with Firefox 3.0.1 (to the point that I had to write this report in opera), making it unusable. I removed the flash plugin, figuring that was a probable cause, but the crashes continued. It seems to be an issue with javascript, as javascript/ajax-heavy pages seem to crash it. Firefox crashes even with --safe-mode, as well.
xulrunner doesn't seem to have any debug information associated with it, though, so I'm not sure what steps to take next.

GDB Backtrace (from safe mode):

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
