Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

If I "mistakenly" more than 2 windows in FF3, or any URL does it, FF3 freezes completely. I am using Ubuntu 8.04
Kernel version: 2.6.24-19, Architechture: i686. I am using Firefox 3.0.1. This never happened earlier, so I felt that it is a
clean Bug. I am very hopeful that it would be corrected soon.

I had the same problem, but corrected it by uninstalling a firefox-addon.
For me it was the tab-splitter addon. Try uninstall addons you dont need... :)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.
