Mozilla 1.7.5 crashing all fo the time!


The title of this thread says it all. Anyone else having this problem?

Is there no more Mozilla Bugtrack? I would like to report it, because it seems to be happening
all of the time, but can't find the site to report the problems.

thanks

No problem with crashing here. Something wiggy about the connection between the browser and mailer, but I probably screwed something up compiling it. Is yours an official build? Official Slack? 3rd party? Personal?

If it's an official build, I believe those phone home about crashes.

Anything special cause it?

I have the same type issue with firefox and mozilla.
It started after I loaded the latest flash junk...
I get "exemptions"..
I assume it is a buggy flash lib...

you might want to try to empty your ~/.mozilla/plugins directory and reinstall your java and flash plugins.

Sorry for the harsh language, but this is really staring to fuckin' piss me off.

I've cleared out all of the plugins, the java ones didn't clear out.

BUT, the browser still crashes all of the time. When vistiing sitles like Orbitz, Travelocity, and even Yahoo.

Is there a bugtraq for Mozilla, I can't seem to find it, cause I want to report it or see if there is a solution.

thanks

Ok, I was having the same issue (see posting above). I searched the web and found a post at some way last forum about FC and Redhat. It stated that the problem arises when mozilla/firefox and related plugins (flash/java) are built with different something-a-nother libs.
So here is what I did...
I went to the slack site and got the latest Mozilla and java packages. Went to mozilla.org and got the latest fox build. Went and got the latest flash plugger.
Went through my box and deleted the java and flashplayer plugs in all browser directories and home directories, upgraded mozilla and java, reinstalled firefox..
Outcome...
I still get a crash from time to time and it is from flash banners. I think it has more to do with how they are made than an issue with mozilla/firefox. My take on the whole matter is "Just what the he11 are they trying to deposit on our machine that the gecko engine does not like?" Poor Windor users and data miner exploit cookies...
