firefox crashed with SIGSEGV in __kernel_vsyscall() while reading yahoo mail

[Sander van Dongen]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Firefox crashed again (also reported yesterday with empty stacktracetop). This happens while reading yahoo mail.
It happens multiple times a day, but only sometimes apport comes up and shows me the possibility to submit a bug for it. For example this morning firefox had already crashed once, but only the second time I got the opportunity to submit this bug.
