The firefox in testing has been compiled with gcc4, binutils 2.16.1 and glibc 2.3.5-something, all from testing. For the rest, it has been compiled with libraries already in testing which are compiled for gcc4.
Firefox is patched to run with gtk 2.7, but has been compiled against 2.6.8. No recompile is required, as firefox doesn't use new 2.7 features. The patch I used was only applied to make firefox more stable on my bleeding edge gnome 2.11 desktop.
Sounds tasty! Looks like the admins of the OSTG sites have tracked down the culprit (which is leading to FF segfaults). They're sending me details. I'll keep you posted.

]]>What GTK version are you using? The warnings are gone in firefox 1.0.6 due to a nice patch, the crashes I could reproduce were mainly triggered by GTK 2.7.x on my desktop. I patched firefox for that issue also.
Using version 2.6.8-1 -- Does FF need to be recompiled against this??

]]>A while ago, firefox was crashing on me. At the end, I gave up and started to use opera instead. Now, I'm back with firefox even though sometime it freezes.
]]>Try to disable/uninstall flash to see if it's still crashing. Try another browser with flash.
Or, you could wait for the new firefox 1.06 packages. They are supposed to be available in [testing] this week-end. (see JGC post)

Already one step ahead. Did both A) disable/uninstall flash ... and B) installed a new localized version of FF 1.0.6 & removed the system wide one -- including removing my ~/.mozilla folder.
Nada.
]]>Have you tried it with that environment variable?
I dont use composite, and it is quite obviously disabled in my xorg.conf, however I still get flash crashes unless I have that environment variable set.
Tried the environment varialbe. It seems to extend the time it takes to crash, but it still crashes.

]]>Edit: I also segfault on ITMJ:
/opt/mozilla/lib/firefox-1.0.4/run-mozilla.sh: line 159: 4411 Segmentation fault "$prog" ${1+"$@"}
The evironment variable mentioned earlier makes no difference at all.

It's already there....
There's definitely something wrong with FF tho.
