Firefox 1.0-2 crashes

[Marc Reich <marcnesium@gmx.de>]

Dear all,

I'm running debian testing and just installed mozilla-firefox-1.0-2 from
the unstable branch. The problem now is that firefox reproducibly
crashes when reading some sites - this is a behaviour version 0.9.3 also
showed and that leads to the conclusion that something could be wrong
with my setup.

To get closer to the source of the problem I ran

$> strace firefox www.gizmodo.com

where gizmodo.com is a page that always leads to a crash.

The last lines of straces output read as:

*** strace output start ***

fstat64(45, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0444, st_size=65456, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 65456, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 45, 0) = 0xb1829000
close(45)                               = 0
munmap(0xb1829000, 65456)               = 0
open("/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ssee1257.fon", O_RDONLY) = 45

*** strace output end ***

It would be very nice if someone could give a hint or two on how to deal
with this problem. If needed I will of course provide the full strace
output or any other information required.

Thank you in advance,
bye,
