Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
When attempting to use the "Find in this Page" feature while surfing some web pages in Firefox 3 Beta 5, upon the find dialog opening, I attempt to enter the phrase and when I press the first letter Ubuntu immediately returns to the login screen.
This has occured most often on Ubuntuguide.org.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I've tried to recreate this bug report but was unsuccessful. Could you please try this with a new profile?
You can do this by executing 'firefox -ProfileManager' in a terminal. Please be careful as your are also able to delete profiles including your existing one. In the profile manager you'll want to click 'Create Profile...' which will start the 'Create Profile Wizard'. Click 'Next' and enter a descriptive name for the new profile. Click 'Finish' to have Firefox create the new profile. You should now be back at the Profile Manager where you should select the new profile and click 'Start Firefox'. Please try recreating the bug with this new profile and report back the results.
You can go back to your original profile by starting Firefox via 'firefox -ProfileManager' again, selecting your own profile and clicking on 'Start Firefox'.
