Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I right-clicked on an image and selected Save As. In the (gnome) dialog box that appeared I tried to move one of the bookmarked places up to the top of the list. The dialog box and firefox both disappeared.

I am using Ubuntu 8.04, and my Firefox is version 3.0~b5+nobinonly-0ubuntu3.

I'm encountering this, as well, but just saving an image anywhere. The images /is/ successfully saved, but Firefox segfaults immediately thereafter. I'm on Hardy amd64 with the most current version of Firefox available in the repos as of this writing.

Brad, do you have Prism installed? That's what was causing my problem. Disabling it allowed Firefox to save files without crashing.

I found the following problem:
Running Firefox 3 with about a bunch of tabs loaded on KUbunru 8.04.1, Compiz.
I experience quite low performance, specially when writing within textfileds and using Yahoo mail and Google Reader, the browser will go gray ans stall for about a minute or so. But the worst of all is when I try to right-click-save an image: then no folder browser window will pop-up and Firefox will stall forever. Sometimes, if I kill -9 firefox and reload it again (yes, waiting over for all the tabs), I am able to save the image, though after a while surfing the same stalling behaviour repeats itself.

 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

I have been using Intrepid with Firefox 3.0 and Prism without a problem. Whatever caused this bug seems to have been squashed in Intrepid.
