Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
I have a Dell XPS M1710 laptop with a pure, up-to-date Hardy 32-bit installation. When using Firefox it will sometimes silently exit for no apparent reason, as if it crashed, except that apport is not triggered and there is no crash file in /var/crash. Upon restarting it I get the standard "Start New Session / Restore Session" dialog, indicating it was definitely irregular termination. The bug occurs about once every few days.
Let me know what I should do to gather more information.
