GWT Developer Plugin (GWT 2.0 RC1) crashes FF 3.5.5

[Open eSignForms]

I am not sure why, but it seems after I start/stop debugging sessions
one or two times, FF will crash when I try to launch a new debug
session. I do submit the bug report when FF prompts, so not sure if
that gets to anybody who can help resolve it.

One thing I'm not clear about is when I need to restart the debug
session in Eclipse in this model. It seems that my Debug page has a
way to terminate (like before), but there also Web Application Debug
View that shows launches with a terminate button, too.

The terminate option in the Debug pane will behave just as it has in 1.7 and will terminate you application (thus terminating all open browser sessions). The new Web Application Debug View provides information regarding each browser session that is currently open. Thus is you were connected via FF, Safari, and IE (each with a single open tab) you would see three open sessions, each providing their own debug information. 

In regards to the FF crash, would you mind responding with more detailed steps so that we can attempt to reproduce it. Does it happen in previous versions of FF?

I wish I had a fixed way to make it happen, but it seems like I get a few different scenarios.

Sometimes, after lots of code changes while the debugger is running, when I save the client .java file in Eclipse and it's compiled, FF will crash.  Other times, it's when I click RELOAD after making changes. 

Sadly, FF is my main browser for all sorts of apps, so having it crash is a pain.  I'll post back if I can make heads or tails out of what I see happening.

The FF 3.5 crash (assuming you're seeing the same thing we are) is
definitely a known thing, and it's a very high priority bug.

Great.  I figured it must be known since it's rather routine -- it'll crash after every few code change/test cycles, but I can't "make it crash" yet.  But it's always after reloading FF after making changes that no doubt cause a server reload or something.

I have seen a few crashes and that's why I'm build the firefox plugin
from trunk using the xulrunner provided by my distro.

$ cd plugins/xpcom/
$ make ARCH=x86_64 BROWSER=ff35 DEFAULT_FIREFOX_LIBS=/usr/lib64/
xulrunner-sdk-1.9.1 GECKO_LIBS=/usr/lib64/xulrunner-sdk-1.9.1/sdk/lib

What OS are people using? I'm running OS X 10.4 and I can't get the
Firefox gwt-dev plugin to work at all. It crashes Firefox on
startup. Does anyone know if it requires Java 6 rather than Java 5?
(There is no Java 6 runtime for 10.4, btw).

I have no idea, unfortunately, since I'm not on OSX, and I'm using Java 6.

Of course, you should not be using any RC versions anymore since 2.0 is officially out and they did fix the FF plugin fairly recently so it no longer crashes it.
