FireFox crashes when in multiple tabs and AOL is launched / used

[Ben Berry]

Binary package hint: firefox

( Intermittent )

When using multiple tabs in Firefox and one tab is changed from it's original URL to AOL, Firefox can crash

This is most frequent when trying to read AOL Mail.

Found when using ( according to " About" in FireFox:)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately we can't fix it, because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem, if possible specify error message.

Did you try do this, from another browser? I tried to download the file on Hardy with Firefox 3 and everything went well, after this Ubuntu correctly started deb installer.

Guys sorry i'm missed in the browser windows when published this answer. Bug report has returned to its original position.

I will try to get some screen shots of running tasks, as well as screen
shots of

firefox running multiple tabs. using Ubunto GG.

As I said, it's intermittent. could be anything.

Thus, A big Pain until someone provides you with more info.

Will try it ten times or so to see if its reproducable

 Jan:

Have noticed this bug is intermittent;

when using Multiple tabs and multiple browsers ( Opera, Firefox )

However Firefox has become much more stable.

Will search Synaptic for a debug version of Firefox

to gather more info for you.

Thanks for your help
