I've been running mozilla on woody for quite a while now without any problems, but it's just started locking up for no apparent reason and I'm looking for help to fix it.
It starts normally and I can browse web pages or view mail but when I try to view the source of a page or to compose a mail, it locks up. By which I mean it stops responding or redrawing the screen; top shows it eating most of the CPU cycles. The common factor to me seems to be that the problem occurs when it is trying to open a new window, though I can open a mail window from a browser window or open the About Mozilla window without a problem. The lockup occurs regardless of whether I use the mouse or a keyboard shortcut to try to open the window.
Does mozilla produce a log file? I can't find any mention of one, but there's no output to stdout/stderr if I start it from a terminal.
I'm running Mozilla 1.2.1 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021213 Debian/1.2.1-2.bunk
I've found this problem on windows installs too.
Go to the directory similar to this:
~/.mozilla/default/dhrjvqdx.slt
Delete any large machine-generated database files. I always delete this one (it's usuall 2-3MB or more): XUL.mfasl
