Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

This occured after I had resolved another issue with trying to get a higher resolution than 1024x768. I had a blank screen with Ubunto open. In the terminal mode I managed to resolve the problem and get a 1280X1024 resolution, but Firefox immediately had the problem. I do have flash installed, but this has only been a problem since the other issue was resolved. There are web sites (Ubuntu help for example) that load properly. The actual thing that happens is Firefox completely shuts down and disappears, not a lockup.

 www.msn.com, my original home page, is one of many that causes the
crash. www.autoblog.com also causes the crash when I tried changing home
page. Firefox closes in 1 to 2 seconds after loading. The only way to
get into Firefox to change settings is to have firefox the default
browser and go to Ubuntu help online documentation.
http//help.ubuntu.com did not cause the problem when Firefox was my
default browser. I have since made Opera my default browser to gain
internet functionality. It appears to work fine.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - the Gutsy Gibbon, and the latest stable release - the Feisty Fawn. It won't be fixed in previous versions of Ubuntu because the bug doesn't fit requirements for backporting. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports for more information.
