Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Hi;
I'm usin ubuntu 8.04.1 with latest ff available by default on the ubuntu repo's.
Whenever I try to open an svg file in firefox it crashes.
I've reported this before without any answer.
As for an example svg, any will do. Pick any from openclipart site or wikimedia.
Please help to resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Viewing svg files in firefox-3.0 works for me. Please answer the following questions:

* Could you please provide some example links that you have experienced the problem with?
* If you have reported this issue before, what is the original bug number? It would be more useful to solve the problem using that report rather than dealing with duplicates.
* Does apport produce a crash report when firefox crashes? Since you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

Thanks in advance!
