I apologise for the short report above, I was in Firefox and was worried it would crash before I finished. Am now using Epiphany.
Steps to reproduction on this machine:
* Start up Firefox.
* Wait a little bit
* Crash
When run from the commandline I get the following output:
Segmentation fault
When I try to run it in safe mode the same thing happens. It seems to stay up for a bit longer if you interact with it, but doesn't keep it open indefinitely.
I have tried reinstalling all the Firefox packages, I have uninstalled all the Firefox extensions, except the Ubuntu one which I can't remove, none of that seems to have had any effect.
The problem started round about the 28th of March.
