[Bug 362150] Re: Firefox 3.0.8 crashes: *** glibc detected *** /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.8/firefox when site marked with noscript 1.9.1.91

[ubuntu002]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
  
  Firefox randomly crashes when I mark a website (selecting an option)
  with noscript. Sometimes noscript works and other times it does not.
  I've provided further information about my operating system and other
  data from the console.

  I have seen no other documented case of this specific error on the
  internet with my search term "*** glibc detected ***
  /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.8/firefox: malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0af53e38
  ***" or a lesser search term of "*** glibc detected ***
  /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.8/firefox:". I have checked for other versions of
  firefox that may have the same issue by searching for ""*** glibc
  detected *** /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.*" and have been assuming they were
  unrelated unsuccessful search results as the errors were not exactly the
- same, and the recommended specified solutions were invalid.

+ UPDATE:
+ I removed the fonts in the "ttf-dejavu" directory temporarily to a new directory after noticing the font directory mentioned at the link in my comment below and my problem I'm having. This resulted in the browser taking a tiny amount of extra time to crash. Here is the information from the terminal:

  I'm not sure how to mine my system for further information. I welcome
  any suggestions regarding possible solutions to this bug (it's rather
- frustrating) and I'm thankful for all considerations. Let me know if I
- can assist further also.
