I am running virtualbox 2.2.2 on a Fedora 10 host. My guest OS (Windows XP) keeps crashing. When this happens, the crash handler in gnome displays a message that application <unknown> has crashed. If I save the bug report (attached), the only thing that looks out of place is 15 lines of:
*** NSPlugin Wrapper *** ERROR: NPObject 0x11512138 is no longer valid!
When it crashes, virtualbox itself is still running, but the guest window closes. If I restart the guest, it will say that the audio is not functional. At this point, I either need to log out and back in or reboot to correct the audio.
This problem has been happening for some time. I have updated to a newer version of Virtualbox, I have applied all updates to my system, etc.
The message in the bug report would tend to indicate a flash/firefox issue, but this doesn't make much sense to me. The problem only seems to occur when the computer is left idle for a lengthy time ( > several hours - i.e. overnight).
Thoughts?

Re: Guest OS Crashing
Is firefox always running when it crashes?
My guess would be firefox too.
Disable all addons, themes, plugins (you could just do a default install of firefox somewhere else).

Re: Guest OS Crashing
I have the same bug.
I use VirtrualBox smoothly since version 1.xx , but after I upgrade to version 2.2.4 from 2.2.2. all my guest os ( linux, xp ) keep crashing.
looks like the 2.2.4 is bad quality release.
Wish the merge of Sun or Oracle won't hurt the VirtualBox.
BTW, the new opensolaris 05/09 release is terrible too.
God bless SUN and all these open source community.
