Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

Not sure if this error report has been sleeping in my system for some time or if it is related to the system crash some minutes ago.

I have installed system updates while firefox was running. Firefox was playing a video on youtube while I was working on another desktop/workspace, so that I could not see Firefox. Some other tabs were also opened. At the time of the crash, I was using Freemind. Suddently, keyboard and mouse froze, but the audio from youtube kept playing for about 5 seconds, then the system was completely halted.

So even if it is related, I'm not sure if the system crash was the cause to crash firefox, or if a crash in firefox led to the system crash. Anyway, when as assertion fails, I think this is worth reporting.

Sorry for any inconvienience, but the bug is totally unrelated to the scenario I described above (youtube, second workspace, freemind, system crash...).

Now that the report is online I can see that a date was automatically added: Date: Wed Mar 17 13:15:47 2010, and since the system crash occured today (Mar 21), there is no correlation between them. Also, I do not remember anything about what happend on Mar 17.
