Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

Firefox 2.0.0.11 running on Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10) 32bit. Every time I attempt to load http://groups.google.com Mozilla crashes.

I think the problem may be one of the applets loading on the groups.google page, but I never really get a chance to see for sure. In any case, EVERY single attempt to load that page results in failure and Firefox dying.

I tried on a different machine running RHEL 5 and Firefox 2.0.0.7 and that loads it just fine. I then updated 2.0.0.7 on that box to 2.0.0.11 and restarted firefox. That worked as well on that machine.

So I dont know what the deal is, but on my Ubuntu machine, I can not load the page without FF crashing... :(

Hi,

please submit the crash report by (double) clicking on it (e.g. using gnome file manager). Otherwise, we won't be able to process it efficiently. The .crash files can be found in the /var/crash directory.
