Hi For the last couple of weeks, my kids and I have all experienced browser crashes on various sites.
We use any one of firefox, mozilla or galeon. I've just crashed all 3 browsers on this URL, http://www.smh.com.au/news/opinion/ . Each browser produces the following dump (see below cut line) when strace'd (galeon is replaced with gecko for firefox and mozilla). I've checked bug reports for the 3 browsers; I don't see anybody reporting something similar. I should add, in case this has something to do with X Window, that I use the latest Nvidia drivers. But I haven't seen these browsers crash so frequently like this before (and I've used Nvidia drivers for a long time). This is driving the kids and I nuts now (I'm using w3m at the moment). Ideas?
