Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

For about a week Firefox occasionally crashes when I click various links. I would expect that it just would open the link.
The crashes are not reproducible with the same links. So when I open Firefox again and click on the same links Firefox mostly does not crash again.
The Crash is immediate, there are no error warnings. When reopening Firefox the last websites I visited are not in the history.

Could you please generate an apport crash report for this? A crash report will help in resolving your problem.
You can enable apport for one instance like this in the terminal:
sudo service apport start force_start=1

I am marking this invalid as apport will open a new bug when the crash
is generated. Please include any relevant information from this report
in the new bug report. If you cannot generate a crash report, you can
reset the status of this one to new and we will try something else. Feel
free to subscribe me to the new bug report so I can assist you further.

Changed in firefox (Ubuntu):
status: New → Invalid
