[Bug 282287] [NEW] [intrepid] firefox quietly crashes with SIGABRT

[Stephen Kendall]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

In 32-bit Intrepid, a recent upgrade from 8.04, I'm getting a lot of
semi-random silent Firefox crashes. This one seems to be more repeatable
than most:

This page reliably crashes the browser:

drop.html

...leading to the attached gdb trace.

About my system:

This happens quite a bit, and always seemingly on a page with some animations (flash?). I've taken out all my add-ons and had no improvement.
