[GUTSY] firefox crashed

[lucasvo]

Binary package hint: firefox

... Firefox randomly crashes when typing

Firefox crashes once in a while when entering text into a textareas, input fields and also the google search bar.

I created a new profile but it didn't help.

I am running the most recent version on gutsy.

Thank you lucasvo 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.

I also experienced hard crashes with Firefox 2.0.0.4 on Gutsy, here's the terminal output

zxz@zxz-laptop:~$ firefox

That just appens when I type text on firefox. The problem was around the dictionnary and the spelling functionnalities of Firefox. Once disabled, Firefox now don't crash each time I type text.
