Bug Description

Binary package hint: apport

HI all,
Firefox has crashed. While it is trying to send a full detailed bug report as to why it failed, I do not know whether it will succeed or not. In the case if it does not succeed then apport should also look for another browser (Epiphany or Galeon) and use them.

Now it was 15 MB of data sitting on it, and now it says network problem,

HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error while I am able to browse without any issues

That would indeed be nice, however, currently it is very hard to actually know whether starting firefox worked.
