firefox-bin crash

[nloewen]

Binary package hint: firefox

I was loading a page and firefox crashed. an apport message box popped up saying that firefox-bin had crashed, but it could not analyze the crash because of low system memory. I know this is not true there was about (estimate) 256MB free in ram and over 1GB of free swap space.

firefox 3.6

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is either missing or challenging to deal with as a ".crash" file. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer.

If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

If you are using Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop environment - launch nautilus and navigate to your /var/crash directory and double click on the crash report you wish to submit.
If you are using Kubuntu or Xubuntu you can file the crash using /usr/share/apport/apport-qt --crash-file=/var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash in a terminal - where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report.

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently. Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding. Feel free to subscribe me to the new bug report to assist you further.
