Firebug on Linux - Crash when enabling panels

[sir_brizz]

I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 and Firefox 3.5.2 with Firebug 1.5a23.

Whenever I try to enable any panels, Firefox crashed with a
Segmentation Fault. I have no idea how to trace what is going on here
to give more information.

Any ideas what could be going on?

Open the url "about:crashes" and post the URL matching the time of the
crash.

It brings up a box that says "The URL is invalid and cannot be opened"
when I do "about:crashes" (no quotes).

I've gotten it to happen easily on any page, including just Yahoo.

I guess you have some problem with your Firefox install. I don't know
how to help.

I'm using the firefox-3.5 package from the repository.

I uninstalled 1.5a23 and installed 1.4.2 and Firebug is now working
just fine. Could there be a regression that breaks it? is anyone else
having this problem??

[sir_brizz]

Just some more info...

I tried the folowing:

1.4.2 - works
1.4.3b1 - works
1.5.0Xa23 - crashes
1.5.0Xa24 - crashes

I created a brand new empty profile and only installed 1.5 in it and
it still crashes the same way. If I install 1.4.2, turn on all the
panels, and then install 1.5, Firefox crashes on load with the same
Segmentation fault at the command line.

Seems like a regression problem??

We still need the crash URL or a test case. (In any case this is a
firefox bug, not a firebug problem, we can't crash Firefox).

Just some additional info, I ran firefox like:

$ strace -f -eopen firefox &> /tmp/ffox.log.txt

And here are the last few lines...

pid 6299] open("/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.3/res/
langGroups.properties", O_RDONLY) = 70
[pid 6299] open("~/.mozilla/firefox-3.5/t9hr4ll3.fbtest/extensions/

[pid 6314] +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++

No clue if that helps at all...

Sadly, according to this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/246843

The crash reporter is disabled in Ubuntu builds of Firefox. I guess
I'll have to try and get on the official builds.

Using the firefox official builds is pretty easy, just uncmpress the
contents of the tar.gz into /opt (you need sudo to do that). Then
start it from /opt/firefox/firefox-bin

Hope this helps,

I'm seeing the same problem - Ubuntu 9.10, Firefox 3.5.3, Firebug
1.5b1 and 1.5a26 (haven't tried earlier).

I'll download an official release and give it a spin.

I've added a stack trace to the Launchpad bug report opened by
sir_brizz: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.5/+bug/449744

this looks like a problem in xulrunner 1.9.1

I reported this a while back on this list. I could not reproduce it with
Minefield. Maybe it has to do with the fact that Debian has a 64-bit build.
Are you on amd64?

Here's the Debian bug:
