I took a look at the link you gave, and I'm not sure I got something right. It says I should run firefox as "firefox -g 2>&1 | tee gdb-firefox.log".
Can I do that all the time (that is, change the shortcut to that) so I can get the log for an unexpected crash? I see such bugs relatively often (once or twice a month) and I was never able to reproduce them. (I expect it's mostly caused by my flaky network connection, perhaps with some contribution from the extensions.) I would be willing to run Firefox with some performance loss all the time, if it were useful to debug at least some of these one-time crashes, but I'm not if it accumulates ten megs of logs per hour or something like that. -- Bogdan Butnaru — [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I think I am a fallen star, I should wish on myself." – O.
