[Bug 232412] [NEW] Firefox crashes after searching for text

[Michael Moore]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-dev

If I use the text search box, Firefox closes when the text search box
closes.

Steps to reproduce (happens every time with these steps for me):

1) On any page, type '/' to intiate a text search
2) Type some text in the search box
3) Don't type anything and wait for the text search box to auto close
4) Cry because you were only 1/2 through the paragraph you wanted to read. :-(

Ubuntu Hardy, 32 bit. Upgraded from Edgy --> Feisty --> Gutsy -->
Hardy...maybe it's just time for a fresh reinstall. 2G RAM, 3GHz P4.

I deleted my ~/.mozilla folder in case there was something left over
from Firefox2 which was causing it to crash. The results were the same
before and after deleting.

I searched for a Firefox 3 debug package, but couldn't find one. I've
attached a backtrace below, but I'm afraid it probably isn't very useful
without debug symbols.

I do have ~6 plugins installed, but the results were the same before I
installed them.

The crash occurs regardless of how much RAM or CPU are being used.

I can provide more info if requested. If I don't get this working or get
feedback in the next 2 weeks or so though, I'll probably do a reinstall
and see if that fixes it. After that, who knows if I'll be able to
reproduce it.

Thanks, 
Michael Moore
