Firefox has always been a bit unstable for me. It used to crash once a week or so. Usually this bug: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21583 I admit that I use a lot of windows and tabs. In the last few days, firefox has started to crash once a day or so. You can see this by the timestamps on my core files: -rw-------. 1 hugh hugh 1669668864 2009-09-12 02:17 core.2981 -rw-------. 1 hugh hugh 1280552960 2009-09-20 14:23 core.2978 -rw-------. 1 hugh hugh 1408999424 2009-09-21 15:33 core.12617 -rw-------. 1 hugh hugh 1408507904 2009-09-22 17:54 core.5627 Nice and big, eh? These recent crashes are signal 11's -- segfaults. This is new to me. This firefox was installed September 16. I'm not sure why it started crashing. Maybe a particular web page that I have open. Anyone else notice a recent increase in firefox crashes? Oh, while I'm asking, any idea why firefox spews this on the console? Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad": libgnomebreakpad.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I get hundreds of them. I almost never use Flash (I have flashblock). PS: the gdb backtraces on the firefox cores doesn't seem informative: (gdb) where #0 0x000000342560edab in raise (sig=<value optimized out>) at ../nptl/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/pt-raise.c:42 #1 0x0000003ebec770b8 in nsProfileLock::FatalSignalHandler (signo=11) at nsProfileLock.cpp:212 #2 <signal handler called> #3 pt_PostNotifyToCvar (cvar=0x0, broadcast=0) at ../../../mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src/pthreads/ptsynch.c:312 #4 0x00000034372233cb in PR_NotifyCondVar (cvar=0x0) at ../../../mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src/pthreads/ptsynch.c:445 #5 0x000000343722b78b in ProcessReapedChildInternal ( status=<value optimized out>, pid=<value optimized out>) at ../../../../mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src/md/unix/uxproces.c:553 #6 WaitPidDaemonThread (status=<value optimized out>, pid=<value optimized out>) at ../../../../mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src/md/unix/uxproces.c:680 #7 0x0000003437229473 in _pt_root (arg=<value optimized out>) at ../../../mozilla/nsprpub/pr/src/pthreads/ptthread.c:228 #8 0x000000342560686a in start_thread (arg=<value optimized out>) at pthread_create.c:297 #9 0x0000003424ade3bd in clone () at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/clone.S:112 #10 0x0000000000000000 in ??
