Firefox crash brings X Server down

[Terry Wang]

I have reported this problem before.

Environment:
Nvidia Driver 185.18.36
Firefox 3.5.8
kernel: 2.6.31-20-generic
ii xserver-xorg 1:7.4+3ubuntu10 the X.Org X server
ii xserver-xorg-core 2:1.6.4-2ubuntu4.2 Xorg X server - core server
architecture i386
Release: 9.10 Karmic Koala

I thought it was caused by the pages with heavy ADF. But it is not in fact. Yesterday I encountered another Firefox crash when using Echofon add-on to tweet. It brought down the X Server 1s after Firefox crashed.

I have attached the full Error log for your analysis.

It happened again today when I try to tweet from Echofon...

Why it's always mentioning Tomboy???
