Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

According to Synaptic I have Firefox 3.5 installed, according to Firefox it's 3.0. Bug numbers #338785 and #120991 also appear to be relevant. I routinely run the the computer continuously for several days. The most common reason for a restart is a Firefox crash. I thought it was only MS Windows that didn't understand "Restart later".

Ubuntu 9.04 on Asus Eee PC 901 (NB no swap partition)

Please excuse my mistake. The trouble with following a defined path is that you often find the path you end on is not the one you thought you were taking at the start. Specifically - when I decided to revise the content of my report, I should have started again with a new title.
