I didn't have konqueror installed, but it seems to work fine for me too.
So, perhaps the bug is in firefox. I didn't suspect that initially. I
guess I'm going to end up filing a bug against firefox. I looked through
bugzilla and found several reports about java crashing; none of them
related to amd64 linux builds. I did, however, find a couple more URLs
that crash firefox (but not konqueror):
Bug # URL
296737 http://www.java.com/
271444 http://finance.lycos.com/qc/livecharts/default.aspx?
The first one results in the java vm dumping an error log right before
the segfault, which could be helpful.
Now, my question at this point is: would it be more productive to file a
bug in the Debian BTS or in the mozilla.org bugzilla? Reportbug tells me:
*** Please submit non packaging issue (e.g. feature requests) bugs to
the Debian BTS and the upstream bugzilla
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Firefox) and put a
reference to the bugzilla bug in the Debian bug report, to ease bug
triage for the maintainers. Thank you. ***
The mozilla project (still) doesn't have an official amd64 build (and
I'm having trouble compiling the upstream source), so it would seem like
filing a Debian bug would be more productive.
Any thoughts?
