Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox
“[apport] firefox-bin crashed with SIGSEGV in __kernel_vsyscall()”
Everytime I am using Firefox in Feisty then normally close the Firefox window by clicking the X icon. Once I restart the system the crash handler displays the message that Firefox was closed unexpectedly. Even though I have not noticed any error while closing the window.

I think it is wrongly reporting that Firefox closed unexpectedly because maybe a flag is not updated or the exit return value is not what it should be.

anyway I don't think it is affecting the performance.

Thank you redpirate for submitting this report.

Could you please try to obtain a backtrace by following the instructions on
[1], or upload the crash report that probably was generated during the crash
and that should be located at /var/crash/ to [2].

Please indicate which extensions/plugins do you have enabled; and if this crash
is reproducible describe the steps that lead to it (it is very important for us
to have a test case for each crash).

This will greatly aid us in tracking down your problem.

Thanks in advance.

H. Montoliu
