Binary package hint: firefox

Crashed on launch of firefox application. First thing I noted was the crash dialog, the app never appeared. Subsequent launch was successful.

maybe one of your extensions caused this crash. firebug for instance is known to cause instabilities for some users.

Anyway, we have to wait for at least one duplicate before investigating closer.

Thanks,

Something with the java is going wrong.
When I try to get the last java the firefox crash and when I visit a java based web site.

[Laurent Suchet (laurent-s3)]

Same thing than above, Firefox crash when going on a java website.

laurent@laurent-desktop:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
Il existe 2 choix pour l'alternative java (qui fournit /usr/bin/java).

I'm on Lucid, up to date.

Java is known to not be fully compatible with Firefox 3.6 or 3.7 yet, which could explain the crashes you two are experiencing. If apport is generating a crash report, then please open a new bug since this one was for Firefox 2.0 and many changes have been made to the software since this bug was filed.
