firefox3 crashes after closing gmail tab

[quina]

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox

No matter how many tabs I am using, FF3 crashes always when closing gmail tab(no matter it's main site of gmail, or mail opened in a new tab), no matter is that tab active or inactive, no matter installed or not installed some plugins, no matter with version of ff3(beta, rc, FINAL!). launching from terminal, after crashing shows: segmentation fault. only way i can solve this problem:
-not closing gmails tab
-CHANGING ADRESS(on other site)
ubuntu 8.04 gnome 2.22.2
Gecko/2008061015 Firefox/3.0

Seems like a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/220541?

Personally I haven't had this problem, and I'm using Gmail on Hardy and FF3 several times a day.

I know that FF3 has made several improvements to the javascript engine, so it's expected some bugs will have to be ironed out...

can't install firefox-3.0-dbgsym:
"firefox-3.0-dbgsym: Wymaga: firefox-3.0 (=3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1). ale ma być zainstalowana wersja 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu3~fta2~hardy"
"firefox-3.0-dbgsym: required: firefox-3.0 (=3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1), but have to be installed 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu3~fta2~hardy version"
[btw. I think it's a spelling error in translation:
'have to be instaled'-> future, when I have instaled(now, present) 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu3~fta2~hardy
if it should be: 'but instaled version is', in Polish shoul be: 'ale jest zainstalowana')
I'm going to force install corect version and change a synaptoc language for a while...

can't edit comments?;/
Now I have synaptic in english:
"firefox-3.0-dbgsym:
  Depends: firefox-3.0 (=3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1) but 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu3~fta2~hardy is to be installed"
[forget my spelling error;) I've checked and it's corect]
I've force version for correct one(3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu3~fta2~hardy is from ppa.launchpad.net repo), from hardy-updates...
startinf ff3 from terminal with the following command:
gdb /usr/lib/firefox-3*/firefox 2>&1 | tee /tmp/gdb-firefox.txt
