visit to webpage makes browser disappear

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Visiting the page http://www.flagpoles.com.mx/VersionIngles/Ingles.htm immediately makes the browser window disappear. The application has to be restarted, it then reports it was ended unexpectedly previous time. This error is consistently reproducible.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Could you please generate an apport crash report for this?
You can enable apport for one instance like this:
sudo force_start=1 /etc/init.d/apport restart

I am marking this invalid as apport will open a new bug when the crash is generated. If it does not, you can reset the status of this one to New and we will try something else.

I can still recreate this bug by going to the URL in Firefox. Upon above request I did the following:

1. I opened Applications | Accessories | Terminal
2. I gave command sudo force_start=1 /etc/init.d/apport restart
3. I gave command gksudo firefox
4. I entered the URL
5. To my surprise Firefox displays the page.
6. I closed Firefox and reopened the application from the menu.
7. I retyped the URL, Firefox closed down again.

This is the output from the non crashed session:
