Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

Firefox crashed while waiting for a page to load. This isn't particularly repeatable.

This is probably a duplicate of one of the other crash bugs; I'm filing this in the hope that the backtrace will be more useful than those of the bugs I checked out.

This error came up when apport tried to report a bug because the firefox ubuntu extensions manager had crashed; and in the interim I'd closed the only open firefox browser window, though ff itself was (and as i write this still is) running, with the add-ons window still open.
