firefox always crash on system shutdown/restart

[karmak]

Sorry if this is not the right place to post this bug ; feel free to redirect me to the right place if needed.

Firefox 2.0.0.18 on Haiku r28734 on real hardware (IBM R52). This bug has happened since I use Haiku (approx. r28500). Did not test under qemu. This happens either on cross-compiled from linux and compiled from Haiku (since approx r28700 I acheived building Haiku from itself).

the bug: if I let firefox open before restarting or shuting down the system, everytime it will crash when asked to quit by the system. If I close it with Alt-W or Deskbar->Close, it closes properly. Backtrace :

That stacktrace is quite interesting. I've always assumed it is a firefox bug, but from the looks firefox is trying to shutdown (nsXREDirProvider::DoShutdown), but something asserts inside Haiku's malloc. So this might be the right place (and it's better to report than not report at all).

Needs looking into.
