Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Only when I have Firefox open with multiple tabs my Ubuntu installation just goes to a black screen with a bit of text on it, and then I'm back to my login screen. When I log in all applications are closed.

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 64 bit edition.
I am using the firefox 3 beta which comes with the Ubuntu installation.
I have done all updates

I have the same problem but it can crashe even if I have Firefox open with one tab. I had the latest updates on 01 -25 -2009 when the problem started. I have cleaned everything and re-installed Ubuntu 8.04.1 LTS Desktop Edition (from the Live CD). At the first start of the new system Firefox crashed. I have done all updates. It works better but it still crashes sometimes.

You can mail me if you need more informations on my computer...

(sorry for my english... :-))
