Please, try to run firefox using a clean profile in order to see if the problem comes from one of your extension: firefox -safe-mode

It your problem still occurs, try to obtain a backtrace by following the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs and http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces/Details.

Set to incomplete until we have more a backtrace or more info.

[RyanO (rhino20049)]

I have no extensions for my Firefox Browser.

[arno_b (arno.b)]

So please, try to get a backtrace in order to see the causes of the crash.

Very weird...
Do you have remove firefox 3.0 before the installation of the debug firefox?

[RyanO (rhino20049)]

no it does not. I need the Beta 5 Package of FireFox 3.0 to get this debugging to work. Is there another package that will do the exact same thing but for Intrepid Ibex?

[RyanO (rhino20049)]

The crash happened again. I still cannot get a retrace as there are no packages for Firefox 3.0.3. I had the following tabs open:

1) Gmail
2) My websites: ryanorser.com superspeedycomputerrepairs.net
3) Google Analytics
4) Advertising networks that I use for my websites.

I hope this will give us some new ideas on how this bug can be fixed.

[arno_b (arno.b)]

There is a problem with debug packages of firefox on Intrepid; you can subscribe to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/259900 to be aware of possible solutions.

[RyanO (rhino20049)]

It still is crashing once every couple of days. I have check out and subscribed to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.0/+bug/259900 and yet it is still undecided. I hope that this will not impact the release of 8.10 and I know I am using the beta, but I believe that this needs to be fixed for the final release.
