Bug Description

Unfortunality this "bug" disappeared when I rebooted. Before I did that I had firefox quit with a SIGSEGV fault upon klicking a link to a .pdf file before it was able to open up a a dialog. This happend 4-5 times in row and I had to restart firefox from the panel. The last time i started firefox with the -d switch and got a better fault output:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
---Type <return> to continue, or q <return> to quit---
[Switching to Thread -1220393280 (LWP 8119)]
0xb273d5ef in ?? () from /usr/lib/firefox/components/libgkplugin.so
(gdb)

I did not do a backtrace however and I cannot reproduce the problem after a reboot. Something got corrupted somehow and forced me to reboot Ubuntu to recover from the problem.

I am using a fully uptodate Ubuntu Dapper and firefox package is: 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.7-ubuntu0.6.06

That is ok, I just reported it for the developers to see, so if they got plenty of random non-reproducable crashes in firefox they might be interested in where it happens. Since firefox is updated since then I believe that the bug either is fixed or got into stealth because of changed dependencies to the surrounding system. Eitherway it will need a new bug report if something similar happens again.
