User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.6; Linux) KHTML/4.6.0 (like Gecko) SUSE Firefox crashes immediately if Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 0. Tell Firefox to use KDE proxy settings (inherited from 11.3). 1. Put ProxyType=2 in [Proxy Settings] in ~/.kde4/share/config/kioslaverc. (inherited from 11.3) 2. Start Firefox. Actual Results: 2. Crash. Expected Results: 2. Firefox should start all right.

My KDE proxy is set to an explicit configuration script, but an automatic script crashes Firefox as well. <URL: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-55e2117e-eca0-436a-ab20-e55e92110314 > <URL: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-a843a48f-9b84-47be-84a7-db5382110314 > Workaround: start Firefox with about:crashes (Firefox does not crash unless you tell it to go to the Internet) and copy (rather than reference) the proxy information from KDE to Firefox.
At least the second crash report says it's crashing in libproxy. Therefore adding maintainer. Also please let us know if kmozillahelper is running when you run Firefox so we can be sure it uses KDE proxy settings or others.
Christopher, For reference, it might be interesting to see the pac file you're using. Also, can the crash be reproduced with the 'proxy' application? sudo zypper in libproxy-tools (Install the test app) proxy http://www.google.com (query the proxy from the system and tell which one(s) to use)
kmozillahelper is running. <URL: http://wpad.2a.pl/wpad.dat > (this trivial PAC crashes Firefox too) $(proxy http://www.google.com) == direct://
so the proxy helper does not crash (which is good and implies the lib also did not crash), but the result is not correct for this pac file. Can you try: _PX_DEBUG=1 __MM_DEBUG=1 proxy http://www.google.com please? (this should give some more debug output for us.
Using config: 20kde_config_extension Using ignore: Config is: pac+http://wpad.2a.pl/wpad.dat PAC received! Unable to find a required pacrunner! direct://
It also crashes during bookmark management in KDE. When I open the bookmark management window with the "open all bookmarks" option and go to "unsorted bookmarks", it crashes the very moment I try to drag a bookmark into a folder.
This bug is ancient. If you can still reproduce on a recent openSUSE version, feel free to open a new one. The more precisely you can describe the steps to reproduce, the more likely the bug will get fixed.
