Hi Steve Interesting. I just tested it out with a Mozilla binary of 3.5.8, also with 3.6 for the heck of it. I actually get the same problem, the one difference in 3.6 being that I get the crash reporter dialog asking me to tell Mozilla about the crash. It almost looks like a Flash-related crash though, I do have the flash plugin installed so I can watch the occasional Hulu episode and disabling it seemed to help somewhat though doesn't completely get rid of the problem. The bug you pointed me to doesn't really describe what's happening to me. I don't get any mystery dialogs nor does Orca hang, Firefox simply segfaults. It doesn't kill Orca nor cause any other oddities, it's just annoying. I agree the site is long. It's not a page I visit, I wouldn't have come across this at all if another interesting article I was reading on another news site hadn't linked to a cnbc.com article. I hate that page otherwise. What I was concerned about was that it would happen on other pages for the same reason, so wanted to see if anyone else was getting the issue. On Tue, 2010-03-02 at 04:58 -0700, Steve Holmes wrote:
I just tried it using FF 3.5.7 on my ArchLinux box and did not experience the crash but what a long page! As I was arrowing around and using the h key to jump headers, I did come across something that loaded some SWF objects for advertisements or something and I believe I got sent back to the top of the page. Definitely annoying but no fatalities. However, I have experienced Firefox Crashes in the past and I will include the link to a bug report that you may feel free to update. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608544 I have to say however, since I re-installed FF 3.5.7 from Mozilla precompiled binaries I have not been able to repro the problem. I had it before while using the binary from the Arch binaries but swince they went on to 3.6.2, I abandoned their packages of Firefox until Mozilla fixes their serious bookmark bugs! I didn't know 3.5.8 came out; wonder if I should update to that or not. I don't want any repeat performances of what happened with 3.6.2!

If I visit: http://www.cnbc.com/ And begin to use the structural navigation keys, eventually Orca passes over an element that causes Firefox to crash. Orca doesn't crash along with it, but Firefox segfaults. I'm not sure what element causes it since, whenever I encounter it, it crashes before I can find out. Can anyone else reproduce this on any Linux machine or is it something going wrong on my setup? I don't want to file a bug until I'm sure it's not just my machine. _______________________________________________ Orca-list mailing list Orca-list gnome org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/orca-list Visit http://live.gnome.org/Orca for more information on Orca.
