Hi archers,
I am using KDE environment, Firefox, kmplayer, and other stuff. Everything works fine but sometimes when i uses firefox to surf some websites with videos on it, firefox quit unexpectedly. What is the problem for this? is that because some websites are written only for IE and they do not compatible with firefox and linux environments ?

I have a similar problem. I just switched to firefox from Opera (which I had zero problems with). But now some popups crash my firefox, aswell as sites like youtube and other sites with non-flash movies such as .wmv or quicktime videos.
Any idea what's up? Any experienced firefox users care to beef up my firefox with some cool plugins, also? All i have is default firefox and vimperator (which I highly, highly recommend -- its the only thing taking me away from Opera. The only thing.)
Thanks in advance.

Absolutely the same problem here. (Gnome user)

if you're on KDE I suggest using konqueror. FF is nice for addons and themes, but becoming more and more unstable. last week it was crashing on nearly every site! Konqueror is great on youtube and with the embedded video player you can even go full screen.

Sorry for digging this old topic up, but I also encounter the problem described in the first post...
Did anyone find a working solution to the problem? Or maybe an explanation why is that happening all the time?

@saneone run your firefox from a terminal from now on until you crash and please post the errors here. Maybe we could get a better idea of what's happening then.

NO, but un-install firefox2 and install forefox3 from AUR and be done with the problems. I have ran beta for months now and have had less problems then people who are using the stable release firefox 2.

Alternatively, just do what I did. Install Firefox binary from mozilla and you're fine.

But I want to use system cairo (cleartype patches)... Firefox3 isn't good for me...

in my case the culprit was scim-bridge, removing it solved the segfaults (musicbrainz picard was also segfaulting mysteriously).
