does anyone else have major probs with Firefox as installed on CentOS5? ever since the RPM for FF3 came out it has been crashing daily. Usually when I use Save As... or Browse... or anything else that brings up the Gnome file picker. After the crash I re-start then the file picker works for a while. Sometimes it just takes scrolling or click+drag an image or some other random action. BANG your'e dead. Very frustrating. Now today it is just crashing randomly, I am not even touching it. Maybe one of my plugins, I know. I guess I will run it with debugger/strace. but does anyone else see this? $ rpm -qa firefox firefox-3.0.2-3.el5.centos $ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 5.2 (Final) $ rpm -qa kdebase kdebase-3.5.4-18.el5.centos

I have had 1 crash in 2 weeks. I would look at doing dealing with the usual suspects: 1) Remove any extra plugins you added. 2) mv .mozilla .mozilla-bad-$(date -Im) and start over. If the problem does not go away then it is some other item that is causing the issue.> Sometimes it just takes scrolling or click+drag an image or some other random > action. BANG your'e dead.

For me works fine. Regards Marcelo Centos 5.2 (2.6.18-92.1.13.el5) firefox-3.0.2-3.el5.centos

I was having problems with Firefox crashing (exiting w/o warning) on most advertiser-supported pages. Page would start loading, then FF would just be gone. FF worked great on clean pages (like CentOS.org). Tracked this back to the Flash player from Adobe. Disabled it, and problem went away.
