DUPLICATE: Firefox Crashes with no warning after an ubuntu update.

Binary package hint: firefox

After an update to firefox was installed on the 16th Feb 2007 as part of normal feisty update. Now when i click on various links, Firefox terminates unexpectedly without reason.

I can not reproduce this behavior. Could you please install the firefox-dbg package and try to obtain a backtrace (or crash report) by following the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs This will greatly aid us in tracking down your problem.
Also, does this happen with a new profile.

I have more information.

The application in question is Nagios 1.2

Which has inbedded sound on the page. Usually this isn't a problem for
firefox. However when i was running firefox from the shell to create a new
profile i spotted the following message after the crash. Which seems to be
connected with audio.

firefox -ProfileManager

If the following line of html is included in a web page, a crash can be duplicated.
