I have tried both Mozilla 1.7.8 and and Firefox 1.0.4 , and both of them quits without any warnings. Sometimes I can use it for some minutes, and then it quits, and sometimes I can use it for a longer period of time. It can happen when I push the refresh-button or when I click on a link.

Anyone familiar with this problem? Do the webbrowsers have any log files I can check?


Btw my system is:
Code:

Linux tux 2.6.10-gentoo-r6 #6 Fri Feb 4 22:51:42 GMT 2005 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

My xorg-x11 is version 6.8.0-r3


Hope anyone can help :-)

The best thing to do in this case is to start your browser in a console and then see what it outputs on exit...

Code:

No running windows found
/usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 547: 23892 Memory segmentfault      "$mozbin"  "$@"
firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (139)

Thats called a crash in my book, maybe your CFLAGS are to agressive.

Might be, I have asus a7n8x motherboard and athlon cpu...

This is my settings in /etc/make.conf

Code:
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2"


Might change it?

I'm having the same problem. Except with 1.0.3 the failures were less often and with previous versions there were no failures. 1.0.4 is crashing every couple of hours. Its seriously irritating me.

Your flags are not that aggressive and mine are even less aggressive (no -j2 and no -pipe). I think its a bug in Firefox added when they patched the latest security holes. I may go back to 1.0.2.

Code:

j2 is NOT a cflag and does not affects the code produced.

-pipe simply tells the compiler to pipe the output rather than using temp files , so that does not in anyway affect the resulting code either. It just makes compiling slower and works your disk harder.

I think you should both look at ipv6 becoming on by default in 2005.0 profile. (before -ipv6 was default) This did bring up some issues esp. with moz et al.

check out ipv6 on the forum. 8)

It's a memory segfault. Chances are that you're OCed too high or your RAM is faulty. Install memtest86 and leave it in a loop for a few hours. I don't trust RAM until it can run a 24 hour cycle with no errors, but 2-3 hours should be enough to tell if it had a problem.

I just changed my USE to have "-ipv6" in /etc/make.conf and did an emerge --deep --newuse world. Firefox did not rebuild but a bunch of other stuff did.

After it was done I re-emerged firefox and I'm waiting to see if it crashes...

*fingers crossed*

It still crashes. More often than ever... Really getting on my nerves.

Code:
subfolders/Calendar> artsdsp firefox &
[1] 19671
subfolders/Calendar> No running windows found
*** loading the extensions datasource
/usr/libexec/mozilla-launcher: line 547: 19685 Segmentation fault      "$mozbin" "$@"
firefox-bin exited with non-zero status (139)

[1]    Exit 139                      artsdsp firefox

I'm using arts. Everyone says its stupid, but working sound is something kinda necessary to listen to mp3s.

Pardon my cynisicm. I've never had much luck with sound. What sound config do you use?

USE = alsa oss -arts?
USE = alsa -oss -arts?

I've tried a bunch of combinations. In fact I have six systems running Gentoo and I think the audio config is different on every one of them because I just can't find a standard way to configure sound.
