javascript breaks firefox and safari in 10.4.11? - Page 2

No I meant re-install Firefox as that's what OSX was referencing when the crash occurred.

By that terminal output, it's trying to access memory outside of the base and limit registers assigned to Safari. That pretty much means that when you started Safari, it was allocated a chunk of memory and then tried to access some memory address outside of that chunk. It crashes because the OS can't allow that to happen, since Safari could be haxoring any piece of data that needs to remain in memory.

It could be something to do with that /Users/rubahness/375 file. If it tried to read a specific number of bytes from the file and made an explicit memory reference based upon that. Of course it's probably not that.

I don't know how to fix whatever was causing your problem though.

well, see, there is no file there! (not even a hidden one)

It could be that whatever process is trying to create that file doesn't have permission to create it. If it happens again, try doing this at a terminal:

Code:

touch /Users/rubahness/375 && chmod 755 /Users/rubahness/375

or try executing the offending browser as root. If either of those work you have a permissions problem.

Why did no-one take me seriously when I said re-install firefox?

o_O · 11-20-2007, 10:00 AM

What's the output of this code?

Code:

ls -l /Users/rubahness/375

Did you try executing the browser as superuser?

Code:

su -c 'safari http://www.eyesonff.com'
