firefox crashes with an empty folder

Every time firefox crashes, it creats an empty folder in $HOME directory. Anybody has a suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Re: firefox crashes with an empty folder

What is the folder called?
Google doesn't report any similar bugs...

My FF from default repos v3.5.4 doesn't create any folders.  Try 'pacman -Syu to upgrade to latest and greatest version'.

It crashing at all is a problem.  Can you reproduce crashes consistently (there is currently a problem with bookmarking).

If the up-to-date version still has this problem, please submit a bug report to ArchBugs @ [urk]bugs.archlinux.org[/url] or the upstream mozilla bug tracker @ bugzilla.mozilla.org

Re: firefox crashes with an empty folder

It's weird the folder is called "GloomySunday.mp3". The first time it crashes, when I try to listen to this "GloomySunday.mp3" from a webpage.

I've already upgrade FF to the latest verison, but the problem remains.

I noticed that there was a bug with bookmarking from google, but without details. Your words remind me, once I removed the .mozilla folder, while backup-ed the bookmark. The problem persists. Maybe I'd try just to remove totally the folder.

Re: firefox crashes with an empty folder

Sounds like it could be a flash problem, or a problem with some other plugin/extension (mplayer, etc.)

pacman -R flashplugin

then try to reproduce bug

pacmn -S flashplugin

to get everything back to normal (assuming you use Adobe's official flash plugin)

Could you give us a link to the webpage?

Knowing a little about this song, this scares me...

Re: firefox crashes with an empty folder

I don't remember the webpage. It's several months ago.
It's a song of Sarah Brightman's. It's once said one may die of listening to this song. Hahah. At least I survive.

I seems not flashplugin problem. I reinstall the flashplugin, after removing .macromedia folder, while GloomySunday.mp3 keeps to show up.
