Firefox continuously restarting until completely reinstalled sith synaptic

[Yahya Hassan]

Binary package hint: firefox

Two areas, first and formost firefox has been freezing when I get more than 2-3 tabs, it also regularly restarts and reports a crash. I have restarted the pc and upon opening firefox again its just restarts repeatedly, the only way to be able to get it working again is to uninstall completely and reinstall using synaptic. I cannot see a reason for the crash. Running 2GB Ram, at least 25 GB free HDD.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Yahya, you reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.

Presumably this problem was a one time occurrence and/or is no longer an issue so the bug report can now be closed? If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in approximately two months time.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.
