Crashes when loading certain web sites

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Ubuntu 8.04

I expected this web site to load:

But it crashed the browser (it simply closed with no errors, warnings, etc.)

Can you reproduce this crash?

Do you have flash installed? Does it still happen when you disable all
extensions in tools -> addons menu?

Crashes firefox repeatedly.
All open windows close. No warning, no error reports.

I am able to reproduce the crash just by visiting the website. Disabling flashplugin-nonfree seems to do the trick.

Flashplugin-nonfree: 9.0.124.0ubuntu2

Loading the page and it crashed without warning and error report.

I was not able to reproduce this bug, is it still a problem? Hardy is now using
Firefox version: 3.0.5+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1

To be honest with you, I got sick and tired of Ubuntu.
It has too many problems for me to be productive and as much as it pains me
I went back to windows. I'll stick with XP. Its reliable.

Yes, actually it just crashed. I went to ESPN site and clicked on there
(flash?) drop down and the whole thing crashed. the link is
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/index. However I went back to this site
and now it runs fine. I think from what I've read that this might be
related to flash.

this crash bug report is far too generic to be of any use. The reported site doesnt crash here. Most likely reasons for crashes are extensions and plugins. Try to disable them until you find the intruder. If you still see crashes, open new bugs for each and every crash with the proper backtrace attached.
