[Bug 477513] Re: FireFox crashes routinely karmic i386

[Micah Gersten]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox-3.5
  
  I'm running FireFox 3.5.4 on Ubuntu 9.10. It is a fresh install on a new
  machine.
  
  FireFox crashes routinely. It is not predictable in terms of time or
  number of pages. But it is guaranteed to crash if given enough time and
  activity.
  
  I've had this problem almost continually with FireFox since at least
  version 3.0 on all my Ubuntu machines. I've reported bugs before, but
  was always told to create a clean, extension free profile. Which was  a
  hassle, so I didn't bother.
  
  Until now. Since I just installed Ubuntu and FireFox on a brand new
  machine, and discovered immediately that the crash problem was still
  here, I figured this was the time to make a definitive report.
  
  I made a totally extension free profile and then just went around to
  random web sites. It crashed within a minute.
  
  Because I ran it from the command line, I have all the command line
  output, which I'll share with you. It's attached in a text file to this
  bug report.
  
- I hope a solution can be found, because FireFox crashes like it's going
- out of style.
+ -----------------------
+ There were some other users reporting not being able to run Firefox at all in Karmic since it crashed so much.
+ Fix uploaded to Lucid with the patch from uim upstream: uim (1:1.5.6-0ubuntu3) lucid
+ Patch is also in debian uim in unstable (1.5.6-2)
+ 
+ TEST CASE: (waiting)
