Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug without some more information. Could you please run 'apport-collect 530032' in a Terminal? This will automatically add information about your system to this report so we can more easily determine the cause of this bug. While there is apport information attached to this report, it is information that apport collected before this was designated as being related to Firefox. By running apport again, we will get more information pertaining to Firefox specifically.
