Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

I'm having trouble with intermittent crashes while running Firefox 3.6.6 in both Karmic and Lucid. It seems to be confined to when I am in a form, such as this one.

In Karmic, it usually logs me off but I go to an 'active' black screen in Lucid, requiring a reboot.

Please run the command 'apport-collect -p xorg 500848' which will attach necessary information for debugging this as an Xorg problem. Also,are you doing anything else when this happens and are you able to reproduce this crash on demand? Thanks in advance

This happens randomly, but if I recall correctly only in an online form. I cannot reproduce it at will, but the next time it happens I will report via Firefox bug report as I did earlier.

Form input types are non-specific - it has happened in both textareas and input boxes.

Lucid crashed again moments ago, but not with any form input this time. I clicked on an internal link on the cbc.ca/news website and my display went dark, requiring ctrl+alt+delete to reboot.

When I restarted Firefox, it took me to the linked page, as opposed to the one with the link itself.

I re-ran 'apport-collect -p xorg 500848' as the previous upload was Karmic.
