When i enter the page http://ubuntuguide.org/ and i referers me to the gusty guide the desktop crashes and i have to relogin.

The error is reproduceable.

I'm able to reproduce it, set status to confirmed.
I will try to debug this later today, which informations (logs etc.) are needed?

This doesn't happen when using Opera, so perhaps it's a Firefox 3 security issue that needs to be fixed before the stable release?

[Andreas Berger (andreas-berger)]

I've also reported this problem (see #221910) and can confirm it. Haven't tried with Opera yet.

cheers, a.

I believe this bug is a duplicate of #222277, there is a temporary fix posted in that guide available here https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222277 . It is also related to #212649.

[tam (aznoohwee85)]

I mean related to #212648.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/222277 xorg crashes with compiz.

in this bug compiz is disabled and when xorg crashes.

so it seems to be no compiz bug. but when i enable compiz the system crashes when i enter ubuntuguide.org, too.
