Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

FireFox works perfectly fine after launching, but appears to crash when left idle as I have not experienced this issue while using it. I'm running 8.04, upgraded from 7.10 (not a reinstall), I have also removed the SCIM packages as they were crashing FireFox with a segfault.

I just started seeing these crashes in the last couple of days too, although I also just installed the linux-phc version of acpi_cpufreq, and ran the optimize script to find the lowest possible safe voltages to undervolt my CPU.

Not sure if that has been a factor however, since Firefox is the only app that is crashing since I configured the undervolting.

Changed package to reflect firefox 3.0.
Daniel, can you please file a separate bug report and attach your backtrace to that bug report, we dont have enough information to link these crashes together.
Kris, can you pleaes disable all your extensions and see if you can reproduce it than?

No point opening a separate bug - I don't get a coredump, or even anything logged. It just goes *poof*!

It doesn't even seem to follow any consistent pattern - but seems to be happening less frequently since I upgraded to Flash 10.0 (beta). Hopefully FF3 RC1 will arrive in the repos soon.

FWIW, RC1 packages are available in hardy-proposed for testing. They
are likely to hit the archive any day.

Firefox works better here with kubuntu / karmic
Occasionally segmentation fault occurs, but i wasn't able to relate
that to the previous ff release behaviour.
