browsers crash in ubuntu

Have you tried Opera?

Yep. Tried opera with the same result.

Can you please give us atleast 4 differnet links this happens on 2 flash 2 no flash if possible. Also can you please follow the steps at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs to get a backtrace of the crash so we know what is going on. What other browsers have you seen this on? CloudFX please comment on a bug with helpful comments/questions, "have you tried opera" isnt helpful due to it being just one of many browsers, Please read
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs/Procedures/Transcript
and
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs/Beginner
as a start to see how Mozilla Team handles bugs. Please feel free to join us in #ubuntu-mozillateam if you have further questions

Another good doc on how to triage is a good guideline but as for others like confirmed and other statuses please read Mozilla team links Because that is the way Mozillateam does things to help make our job easier.

I successfully installed firefox-3.0-dbgsym and xulrunner-1.9-dbgsym, but when I ran the trade command I got the following:
This GDB was configured as "i486-linux-gnu"...

Sorry...I did a copy and paste for the trace command which caused the errors in the last message. Here is the output from gdb-firefox:

Can you please give me the exact command used as the output isnt showing
a crash and it doesnt look like the full crash report. did you install
the other -dbgsym or -dbg packages as well besides firefox and xulrunner

This isnt a Firefox issue nor gecko nor xulrunner. Opera doesnt use the
above its written in QT.
Please try to get a backtrace this time leave out the comments like #
someoutput that is for you after you run the command before it it will
give you output that is the output that comment meansalso please dont
use the # as they are not needed and most like that is why we are not
getting the info needed.

I marked it as a Ubuntu bug since its not a Firefox issue nor Xulrunner until we find the cause for this.

I had some trouble understanding your last comment. I deleted all #'s and deleted "someoutput"....still no debugging symbols. Can you please provide the EXACT command I need to use. I checked again and all of the required files are present.

Since this is not a firefox issue but caused by someother app. please go to
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash for more help.
I feel this is an extension issue but since opera and firefox have
nothing in common on the way they are built this most likely is a site
or addon issue. I will retest the links you gave and see if i can get it
to crash now.

I have all 4 of the links you gave above open and im not seeing any preformance issues crash or otherwise In Firefox-3.0. Most likely this is caused by a plugin or addon of some sort.

This is not a site-specific issue...any site can crash at any time. It is completely random.
I have disabled all plugins. There are no add-ons or themes. The browser still crashes.

Andrew

I also disabled language support and xlrunner. There are no extensions installed. It still crashes.

Andrew

Stand down kids. I ran memtest and found I have serious hardware issues. While I troubleshoot and fix this, may I suggest you close this thread so no one else wastes their time.

Everything else seems to be running fine, so I assumed this was a software issue. There is a reason why assume starts with "ass". You have my sincerest apologies.

Humbly yours,
Mr. Ima Dummy
