[Bug 239830] Re: FIREFOX: Instability with 09/06/08 updates

[Troy James Sobotka]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox
  
  Summary:  General instability that results in Firefox crashing several
  seconds after displaying the contents of the page / file.  Seems to be
  localized to an update on or around the 9th of June, 2008.
  
  Platform:  Ubuntu 8.04 amd64
  
- Frequency:  Frequently (3 / 5 trials for manifestations)
+ Frequency:  Frequently (4 / 5 trials for manifestations)
  
  Steps to Repeat:  Unfortunately this is a nasty bug that doesn't appear
  to have any common underlying process to repeat it.  Thus far, the
  general steps are to load a page and scroll or use it.
  
  Additional Information:  I would think that this is probably related to
  a newer Firefox update in relation to the nsplugin.  That said, this
  happens with entirely non Flash driven sites including Launchpad.  The
  general symptoms are Firefox crashing approximately two or three seconds
  after displaying the contents of a web page or file.  It seems to arrive
  in small 'spurts' (nsplugin possibly lingering around and causing issues
  from start to start of Firefox?).

+ 14/06/08:  Updated freqency.  In fact, Firefox crashes almost every time
+ it boots now.

** Summary changed:
