Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

All other browsers test in this configuration have the same problem, so it is not specifially a Firefox bug.

Ubuntu 8.04 hardy

Firefox turns gray and quits on seeking URL, or sometimes during typing. Occasionally Firefox recovers during typing, but not on page requests.

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.

probably a graphics driver issue if this happens in other browser too. try to use the free drivers instead of the proprietary ones (e.g. nv instead of nvidia; ati instead of fglrx); if not its most likely bad hardware/ check your memory.
