I\'ve been getting this annoying behavior in which whenever I have a song playing and start up firefox then amarok instantaneouly crashes, and viceversa if I have a firefox session and start up amarok then firefox instantaneously crashes.

I have observed that if amarok is idle (not playing a song) and I start up the firefox session then they get along fine and I can start playing songs with no problem.

I have googled it for days and I haven\'t been able to find a related post, the only one that I have found is the foxytunes bug that crashes the whole X session but that is definitely not related because I don\'t have it installed and I have observed that the same thing happens with mozilla navigator.

Initially I was running debian\'s unstable package (amarok 1.2.4) and now I have compiled amarok 1.3 beta 2 and they both present the same behavior.

I would like to know if any of you has ever seen or read anything like this and can share some light.

I did not compile amarok with debugging enabled so i was wondering if there is any other way in which I can capture any meaningful information to aid troubleshooting.

All help would be appreciated!

Applies to beta 1 only

i have this problem everu so often
Revive Amarok from task bar (not systray) while Firedox is active. The song in amarok continurs to play however the entire KHTML gui in amarok is dead the playlist no longer exists so the next song doesnt play.

i filed a backtrace on bugzilla

it has since stopped
i used mandrake update to update mysoftware/bug fixes security , inbl KHTML arts and amarok beta 2.
the problem has gone but i cant say why try updating amarok dependancies
