Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
Just typing several letters, such as abc into the Y! search window kills Firefox, and then takes me to the login screen. The same happens if I switch to Google or IMDB for the search.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. This sounds like it may be related to some issues that are known in Plymouth. Can you please answer a few questions for me?
1. Is your system fully up-to-date?
2. Does this crash ever happen when typing in other programs?
3. Does this bug only occur once per session or can it happen multiple times?
Once you answer those questions, we'll have a better idea of how to approach this bug. Thanks in advance!
