Package: iceweasel
Version: 23.0-2
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
I did the following:
* From a blank window, opened 20 tabs from the bookmarks.
* While loading wasn't finished, I started to type a URL in the
address bar. A pane appeared with a list of proposed URL's as
usual, and remained open.
At this time, Firefox was no longer reacting, and I couldn't have
the focus on any other window. I couldn't close the Firefox window.
The only thing I could do is to switch the desktop via FvwmPager.
I tried to open a virtual text terminal, but everything froze.
Then I connected by SSH via my phone. I noticed that the iceweasel
process had a "sh" zombie child (it looks like bug 703472).
I killed iceweasel with kill -9, but the X system was still frozen.
I had to kill my window manager (fvwm). Then I could log in again.
So, the cause may be bug 703472 (not sure because I don't know why
mailcap would be involved), but this is even worse, as it took the
whole X system with it.
What I lost:
* All the shell sessions.
* The Firefox session when I restarted it (only a few tabs were
retrieved). Not much a problem since this came from bookmarks
here, but it could have been worse.
Fortunately, I didn't have unsaved data from other X applications,
but again, it could have been worse.
