Comment 1 Jesse 2008-05-18 10:11:02 UTC
I can replicate this bug:

Browser: Firefox 3 RC 1
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008051202 Firefox/3.0
Distro: Gentoo
xorg-server: 1.3.0.0-r5
xorg-x11: 7.2
nvidia-drivers: 169.09-r1

$ uname -a
Linux ricercar 2.6.24-gentoo-r7 #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon May 5 17:40:35 EDT 2008 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 @ 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Most of the time, I end up with a black screen, and have to magic-sysrq reboot. A few times I've been dropped back to the console, and a few times I got a row about 10 pixels tall along the top of the screen of the framebuffer image, and the rest black.

Xorg Crash

I can also replicate this bug.  

This problem also exists for me when loading http://www.irmacs.sfu.ca/events/past_events.php

I have confirmed this bug on Firefox 3 RC1, RC2 and at least one of the previous betas.  I have also confirmed this bug on multiple Fedora 8 installs with different video cards/drivers (nvidia on one, Intel i810 on another)

I'm running the xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-44.fc8 rpm.

I have filed this bug to the Firefox folks and they suggested I file it here also.  Reference bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=437665

Attached is my xorg.0 crash log

Looks like there may be a possible related bug at bug 15787

I can replicate this bug too with Firefox 3 Final (3.0). It occurs with all MediaWiki sites (like Wikipedia) that are larger than approx. 350 KB. With other browsers (Opera, Konqueror, Firefox2) it doesn't occur.

It happens on 2 different systems, an Athlon XP 2400 and a Pentium 3.

Seems to be the same issue like the following problems on the Mozilla bug site:

Xorg crash log (contains backtrace)

I can confirm a similar problem. Visting certain websites with Firefox 3 crashes my X server randomly (it doesn't depend on the website). Mostly it happens when watching a video on YouTube. It is a little bit hard to replicate the bug, but it happens since upgrading to Firefox 3 once or twice a week. The crash happens always with the same backtrace.

I've attached my crash log. It doesn't seem to be a driver-specific problem, because it happens with FGLRX as well as with the open source radeon driver (6.9.0 as well as with the latest GIT version).

frieder@friedi ~ $ uname -a
Linux friedi 2.6.26 #9 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jul 19 13:16:45 CEST 2008 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU T7200 @ 2.00GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

Using Gentoo-package x11-base/xorg-server-1.4.905 (but also happened on version 1.4.0.90-r3 and 1.3 with FGLRX).

It happens when running Compiz as well with Metacity (without any compositing). It also does not depend on using EXA or XAA.

Downstream URL has long been fixed.
