I did a pacman -Syu recently, and it seems like Firefox has been crashing an awful lot lately. Anyone else running into these issues?

Yeh, I did have that problem..... but it seems to have gone away now?!
Now my fonts are messed and I'm getting oriental (i.e. characters) adverts in the forums

That's not a problem with your fonts. It's just Chinese ads. It's mentionned in the Off topics forum.

my firefox crashes with some of the gnome libs (it may be gnome-vfs, not sure...) so I have to make sure I never have any of those on my system

I'm not really sure what does it.. it crashes I think with an out of memory error.. java apps will go at the same time too. It's really weird, and it seems like it just started ever since I did an -Syu

There's a bug in gtk-engines 2.6.1 in the smooth engine. When using a theme based on the smooth engine, firefox and all other mozilla apps and eclipse as well will crash when opening certain windows.

i had same problems (firefox crashing) after installing the flashplugin, so i removed it for now. just a long shoot...

ah good point - if you're using composite, the flash plugin has issues, unless you export some env variable that I can't recall... XARGB something...

Put
export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
to your /etc/profile and the problems with composite and the flash plugin should dissapear.
I have some other issues with ff connected with mplayer-plugin...erm...uhm..hmm..it crashes a lot;-)

tnx, that fixed it. i dont use flash though - i only wanted to check some ad on a site... it was uninstalled again

There is a Firefox extension which will replace all flash objects with a button that lets you control if you want to play it. I think it's called Flashblock. I recommend it if you ever want access to flash content but hate ads.
I have nothing to say, and I am saying it.
