It is just a little too bland of a browser. I have loaded Epiphany and it does not crash at any of these sites. I have basically given up on it as unsolvable and stay away from the known crash sites. Spending a 20 career as a trouble shooting specialist, this one has me scratching my bald head even balder. It is very difficult to put a finger on this one, ie, is it hardware? is it Flash? is it Firefox? I have completely wiped this system to bare bones to go to ext4 in Jaunty and the results are exactly the same now matter what version of Ubuntu, Flash (using v10 alpha) or Firefox version 3.08 Strangely enough, Youtube has never been a problem.
The other machine is a 64 bit and using the same flash, v10 Alpha, and the same FF and add ons. My specific definitive FF crash site is Yahoo mail, but now even sites that always worked (MLB.com, ) are crashing. On another machine I have never seen the error or problem. I am 64 bit and this issue has followed me on this machine from Gutsy all the way to Jaunty RC now. Other info that may be useful: Running Ubuntu 8.10 (64 bit) and FF 3.0.8 on a modern box with 3 gigs ram. One other thing: is a perfect example of a page that will shut FF down if I have js turned on, but loads fine if js is off. removing wins from samba did not help my problem. I don't yet know if it's a particular javascript function or what, yet. Turn it back on, and certain web pages with some sort of javascript on them will close FF down. If I turn off javascript, the problem goes away. This has been happening to me for the last few days, and I've narrowed it down (for me) to javascript issues. (Also Evolution crasht like thunderbird in the past, that was my first reason to switch to thunderbird). I did some heavy browsing (opening couple of 50 websites, mostly news/tv websites, and social networks, because they gave the most problems) and it holds.
Because putting wins in this list makes it possible to use the name of windows computers to make connection, or something. )īut this still is a quite big problem in samba if this is true. But I stopped using it, since it made more problems than it solved them. I remember that I had put wins there to get my network HDD going. Hosts: files mdns4_minimal wins dns mdns4Īnd remove wins out of the list like this The thing they said in the topic in my last post, was disabling WINS resolution in samba. Mother mary, I think we may have a solution! Is there maybe a way to get it to produce a dump file when it crashes? Maybe that might be useful to see what exactly it was doing when it decided to close.
(To qualify that, the odds of rolling a natural 20 goes up if you use more dice, for example) It could be a memory thing, or simply increasing the odds by having more tabs.
It also happens at other times with fewer tabs, but after opening so many tabs at once is the most common. Occasionally, clicking the next tab will cause Firefox to freeze for about a second or two, and then the whole thing closes. I'll read one, move to the next, read that one, click the next tab, read, next tab, etc. Once all 50 or so are open and I start reading is when it crashes. I have about 50 webcomics in my bookmarks, and every morning I just select "Open All in tabs" and wait for them all to open. It usually triggers when opening a lot of tabs. Same symptom: Firefox just closes totally unceremoniously. I removed the flash plugin the first time the problem occurred for me and was still able to reproduce. I am having the same problem, with certainty that it isn't flash.
