Details
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.
