[Linux] Firebird or Gtk bug?

[Jannes]

Hello,

My Mozilla Firebird crashes frequently. Often this happens when I click on the "new Tab" button. But also on Normal Websites when scrolling in a form/Textarea or just in "normal" Surfing.
Is this a known bug of Firebird, or is it Gtk related?
I am running Firebird 0.7 on Slackware, kernel 2.4.23, and I have gtk+-2.2.4 and gtk+-1.2.10 installed.

Here is what an strace MozillaFirebird gave as last output:

Thanks for your time and any help

Forgive me for being a one track mind, but when I see "crashes frequently" and "Tab" on the same line, I've got to ask, are you using Tabbrowser Extensions?

[Jannes]

OK, I forgot to mention extensions.
I mean the builtin "new tab" button that you can add to your toolbar.
My theme is "Breeze", and I don't use any Tabbing extensions. I guess the problem is not extension related, here are the ones that are installed:

- Digger
- Paste and Go
- Useragent Switcher
- Compact menu


Greetings

ps: I always get this message, also without strace:
Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkselection.c: line 597 (gtk_selection_convert): assertio n `widget != NULL' failed.
I searched google etc. But I can not find anything related. Also in the bug tracker of gnome/gtk I found nothing-

[Old Persist]

Useragent Switcher - have you got Java installed? That can cause conflics as Java reads the Useragent string. Have you tried a clean profile with no extensions?

[Jannes]

I will try it later today. Thanks for your help so far.
