The site works in Konqueror, most of the time. Surprisingly, the site also works in Mozilla's browser. This problem first began on upgrading to the latest security-patched Flash plugin, from about two or three weeks ago. As the problem has really nothing to do with the Debian pkg of the flash plugin, I'm filing it here. Initial step was to clear the cache. Still crashed. I then followed the tips at http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_(Firefox) , to no effect. These were, in order: - Starting in safe mode -> crash - Reset toolbars and controls -> crash - Removed all extensions -> crash - Backup and removal of profile -> crash - Removal of xul.mfasl -> crash - Deletion of -> crash - downloads.rdf - history.dat - mimetypes.rdf - localstore.rdf - pluginreg.dat - Deletion of -> crash - prefs.js - user.js - extensions folder - chrome folder - Deletion of profile folder -> still crashed Getting frustrated, Googled a bit and tried gdb: $ ulimit -c unlimited $ mozilla-firefox [load page, dead firefox] Segmentation fault (core dumped) [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ gdb /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox-bin core.7684 GNU gdb 6.4-debian Copyright 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
