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
