Sometimes I mostly navigate through the web with the mouse (and and index page) to get to my frequently-visited sites. At other times, I use the control-L to open the Location dialog box and enter a URL. I've noticed that doing the latter tends to destabilize the browser. The effect is not always immediate, so this is difficult to reproduce. But I suspect that something along the keyboard-event handling chain is doing something nasty, because after frequent use of control-L Mozilla tends to crash from a Segmentation Fault. This has been the case for many months. I build from trunk cvs on a regular basis, often doing clobber builds and removing the entire ~.mozilla directory. I've noticed this effect on several different machines too, mostly Debian/Intel but also one Debian/PPC. I wish I could offer more. If anybody has any troubleshooting suggestions or requests, I'll try to get better information.

this sounds real, confirming.

hm, do you think it might be bug 58728? it depends on what [if any] stack trace info you might have.

futuring until we get some purify data

I haven't had a problem with this since Gagan's patch was checked in for bug 58728.

ok, marking worksforme then
