Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Sometimes FireFox will work for hours, and sometimes after going from one page to another or opening up another tab and CRASH. The message "cant fir page". I try to go back to my home page and again "cant find page". After closing and restarting FireFox several times, it works again. This is very frustrating when trying to download updates, sometimes taking four or five attempts. I know the network is up and running because I can use my mail, and my network shows and 80% signal. It is almost like the old dial up systems, where if you stayed on one page to long the internet would time out.

Thank you for your bug report, but please understand that crashes are not bugs. Many crashes can be attributed to flaky plugins, extension conflicts, or other behavior. I am closing this bug for that reason, please feel free to reopen it if you feel the crash is reproducible. Use one or more of the following criteria: on other releases of Ubuntu, Newer versions of this program, crashes on every load and with up-to-date plugins.
