Bug Description

Not much to say: FF just disappeared. No "crash report" window appeared. I used "ubuntu-bug firefox" to initiate this report.

I had replied to a "WishList" style "bug" report for GPRename, that added text and two screenshots.
I clicked on each of the screenshots with a right-click, to bring each up in a separate tab.
I clicked on the first tab and was looking at the screenshot, when FF disappeared.

I am NOT using the latest FF: Each time I have installed something later than the one here, FF crashes as it tries to bring up all of my many windows/tabs. Since a crashing FF is not usable, I re-installed the last version that does not crash (immediately).

It seems to me that the last few versions of FF have been rather... fragile... The FF Crash Report window has appeared much more often. It does not often crash without the window (as it did this time), but it does happen occasionally.

Since I used ubuntu-bug to report this, the following is probably superfluous, but here it is anyway...
