[Bug 214817] Re: When I close a tab that has a Gmail page loaded, firefox crashes

[ollie]

I have the exact same behaviour on Firefox 3 RC2 on Ubuntu Hardy. Using
-safe-mode, disabling all plugins, moving .mozilla away, having a brand
new profile... None of those actions helps, Firefox still crashes
closing a Gmail tab. And it happens a lot. As in several times a day - a
lot. Lately I've noticed it's not only Gmail and Google Docs -- a few
other pages cause the same crash when you close their tabs. The only
thing I've seen in common with them is the heavy use of Javascript/Ajax.

It's been argued that this is not a bug but merely a Google API issue. I
have the same Firefox 3 RC2 running on an openSuse system and another on
Windows Vista SP1. Neither are affected. Only the Ubuntu one is. So I
don't understand how this is caused by Google not supporting
Gecko/XULrunner 1.9.
