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. #0 0xb7f57430 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb7cb4880 in raise () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #2 0xb7cb6248 in abort () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #3 0xb08b70c5 in talloc_strdup () from /usr/lib/libtalloc.so.1 #4 0xb0b13972 in ??
