I had just watched a short Youtube video embedded in the website Pharyngula. I decided to check another blog I read, so selected it from the bookmarks menu. I expected firefox to load the new website, successfully leaving the last website.
4)
Firefox greyed out and had to be killed. This happens regularly after trying to navigate away from websites on which videos have been watched, such as youtube.

So I've tried three more times, and it happened two times out of three. Both times I've run apport on the process while it was running; here is one of the reports attached.
