Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

2. 9.04

2. firefox 3.0.10+nobinonly - 0ubuntu0.9.04.1

3. I've expected to use a web browser ;)

4.1. I open firefox

4.2. It shows the window of firefox, yet before it loads a home page it crashes with a "Bus error". Sometimes it opens the first page yet any action crashes it.

4.3. I don't have no more information from the machine

Purging or reinstalling does not help.

PS I 4.05.2009 18:49 I found a solution to bypass the bug. Yesterday I installed flashplugin-nonfree package because there was no sound, it helped with the sound but the firefox started to crash after update. Now I realised that the adobe-flashplugin (the ubntu original) stayed active. There is a problem allowing two flash plug-ins to stay active at the same time.

yes, adobe-flashplugin has to conflict with flashplugin-installer nowadays (not only flashplugin-nonfree)
