Iceweasel randomly crashes in wheezy
I've upgraded from stable to testing. In stable, iceweasel performed flawlessly as I expected. Now it crashes at random times at an alarming rate. It does seem that I can recreate the crash to an extent on youtube, where crashes are the most prevalent.
I haven't located any bug reports regarding this issue with wheezy iceweasel. |
I am not seeing this, yet I am using the version from experimental.
|
Running from CLI leaves "segmentation fault" as the only clue after the crash. :scratch:
|
Run iceweasel from the command line and look for error-messages.
|
The only error I get in the terminal is

I checked sid's packages to see if I could just grab a newer version, but it would appear sid and wheezy have the same iceweasel. Maybe I will grab the older one from squeeze. |
Why don't you report the bug and help Debian and Mozilla fix it?

Delete your old profile, make a new one, test it and once done, configure it.
This is done by issuing a simple "iceweasel -profilemanager" at a terminal or at your DE's run dialog. |
No issues here with the newer Iceweasel 4rc.
$ apt-cache policy iceweasel iceweasel: Installed: 4.0~rc1-1 Candidate: 4.0~rc1-1 Version table: *** 4.0~rc1-1 0 500 http://mozilla.debian.net/ experimental/iceweasel-4.0 i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.5.17-1 0 500 http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ unstable/main i386 Packages |
I installed Chromium the other day and lo and behold, it randomly crashes as well. Like iceweasel, the only clue the terminal gives me is
Code:
segmentation fault |
What version of Chromium?
I use both (iceweasel 4 and Chromium 9) and have not had the difficulty you are describing. |
Chromium 6.0.472.63~r59945-5
Iceweasel 3.5.17-1 |
I realise your in Testing (Wheezy) but Squeeze has had a security update recently that may help to fix the issue.
|
I installed Squeeze, upgraded to Wheezy then upgraded to sid, no issues with Iceweasel, Firefox, Chrome 10.0.648.82 beta, Opera 11.10.2048, midori 0.3.3-0.1,uzbl 0.0.0~git.20110314-1.
Try installing iceweasel-dbg - debugging symbols for iceweasel, then running Iceweasel from a terminal. |
Same issue here
Same random crashes, after an update lately, but I can't figure which package has done it. Crashes also with gmail, which is really annoying. Konqueror runs well, but gmail is in simple-html mode.
Running Wheezy, Iceweasel 3.5.17-1. System up-to-date. running iceweasel with debugging symbols (iceweasel -g --sync) I get Code:
Starting program: /usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin --sync |
