Comment 5 for bug 282287

I'm also getting a lot of SIGABRTs on Intrepid right after upgrading from Hardy. The repro URL supplied above crashed immediately the first time I tried it, with the backtrace below.

It's not my experience that crashes go along with loading Flash content. Also, unlike Adam, I'm running nvidia (closed-source driver 177), not ATX.

Firefox 3 is barely usable for me after upgrading; I can't keep it running under steady use for more than 10-15 minutes without a SIGABRT. Assuming we're actually experiencing the same bug, may I suggest that this isn't a video driver bug (since Adam and I are using different GPUs) and not Flash related (since Adam has disabled Flash?)

I'm attaching a more extensive dump.
