Did this issue start to occur after an update or at random? Can you give us more information regaurding what you were doing before this issue arose?

i dont remember exactly. but i think 2 things:
1- the electricity turn off suddenly when i was open the computer.
2- i download flash player plugin from macromedia web site.

I also started having this problem suddenly after coming back from the weekend trip.
My case is the Firefix shuts down when I clicked to another page to open.
The rest of the description is identical to the above posted.

What I remember is I downloaded also flash player from macromedia last week.
I am not 100% certain if I had started having this problem after the installation, but it is likely.

the problem sloved

i download firefox 3.0.5 from internet, then install it, then i work on it, then i install flash on it.

after this i return to original firefox on ubuntu and it worked succesfully.

i hope it work for you.

Whoops. This is obviously not the bug I'm looking for, though it sounded very similar...
