Binary package hint: firefox

Firefox.bin blockiert mein System indem es weder Firefox noch das Internet zulässt. Es hängt sich einfach auf. Ich muss dann das System neu starten um weiter arbeiten zu können. Seit Jahren benutze ich Linux, angefangen mit Suse über Mandriva und seit 2 Jahren Ubuntu. Das mir Firefox so einen Ärger macht ist nicht schön.
Das hatte ich bei Suse nicht.
Gruß Frank

Google translates as:
Firefox.bin blocks my system by not allowing Firefox or the Internet. It just hangs up. I have to restart the system to continue working. I've been using Linux for years, starting with Suse on Mandriva and Ubuntu for 2 years. That makes me Firefox such a hassle is not nice.
I did not have that with Suse.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version.

When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:

apport-collect 776124

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
