Hi,
I ve had open round about eight tabs, six of them where loading the content. My notebook ist connected via umts to the internet. Suddenly the webbrowser crashes and reopens. Also this reopen ends in a crash. The content was from www.dnnd.de several news, from sport.de, spiegel.de and heise.de. I will put the file up to you.

Greetings

Andreas

We are going to close this bug report because it looks that it was caused by adobe's flashplugin which we can do anything about it, since it is closed source and you weren't using the ubuntu's flashplugin-nonfree package. You might want to report it upstream directly.

Thank you
