Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Firefox 3.6 crashes in Ubuntu 8.10, shows a crash report screen of Firefox. It does not go down by itself but after I click the close button, it comes up with the crash screen. I had updated firefox using ubuntuzilla and normal update it was. From the first time, it started except if I keep the window open without going to any site, it does not show any crash window.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and trying to help make Ubuntu better. However, it seems that you are not using a software package provided by the official Ubuntu repositories. Because of this the Ubuntu project can not support or fix your particular bug. Please report this bug to the provider of the software package. Thanks!
If you are interested in learning more about software repositories and Ubuntu the following pages should be informative:
1. http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/components - information about Ubuntu repositories
2. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - information regarding managing repositories.

However, you can get Firefox 3.6 from our PPA: https://launchpad.net/~mozillateam/+archive/firefox-stable

Please reopen this bug if it happens with our build from the PPA. Thanks.
