Thank you for your bug submission. Could you please provide some more information:

What version of Ubuntu are you using (Edgy/Feisty etc)?
What version of firefox are you using?
Does this happen on a particular webpage or randomly?

Could you also please install the firefox-dbg utilities and run firefox from a terminal so that you are able to cut and paste any information it prints to standard output.

To install firefox-dbg type the following in a terminal

sudo aptitude install firefox-dbg

sublimator what version of flash are you using? "apt-cache policy flashplugin-nonfree" without the " should tell you. please let us know, it seems this is a flash issue. if your not using flash 9 but flash 7 please enable backports repos and sudo apt-get update than sudo apt-get upgrade.

Hi,

I really think the problem is
  libflash-mozplugin which uses libflash0c2

I've encountered, and discovered a workaround for a very similar bug in the Ubuntu (8.04) Firefox (3.0.3) Modification (0.5) add-on. The Ubuntu Modification add-on is installed by default.

Several pages at www.newscientist.com would cause the browser to crash and close suddenly. I disabled my add-ons one at a time, and discovered that disabling the Ubuntu Mod seemed to cure the problem and the pages loaded and displayed normally. I don't see that any Firefox functionality has been lost, save that it no longer displays the Ubuntu page as its home page.

This is a really old post, and I hadn't thought about this matter in a very long time. For what it's worth, I later found that removing the Ubuntu addon did not entirely eliminate the mysterious Firefox crashes in 8.10, and this was one of the reasons I soon upgraded to 9.04. The problem disappeared completely as soon as I upgraded to 9.04, and there were no further issues with FIrefox later when I again updated to 9.10.
