firefox closing every few pages

[lapis]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

firefox is closing every few pages when i'm reading www.wapsisquare.com

at first it was closing every or every other page, now it's up to about a dozen. i read several dozen comics before it started happening, never had a problem before today. i've been using ubuntu (handy heron version?) for about a month with no firefox problems.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Sometimes Firefox profiles can become corrupt and/or extensions can conflict. Could you please try this with a new profile and see if the problem still exists? You do not need to delete your old profile to test. If this helps, you might want to try to disable all your extensions and re-enable them one by one until you find the problematic one.

You can start the profile manager with the following command:
firefox -ProfileManager

i set up a new profile and it worked for a few hours, but it's just started again.
