> Please try again with firefox -g (which will launch gdb for you) I did this, and haven't yet seen the original symptoms again, but have seen another crash: after downloading the file StaceyB1Notes.pdf from http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/users/staceyd/ (a directory listing) and using gpdf for some time, I tried to switch back to Firefox and found only the window title bar and taskbar icon; the rest of the window had disappeared. Trying to close it from the taskbar brought up a "stopped responding" message, at which I selected Force Quit; this closed it, and unlike the previous problems, it could then be restarted successfully. Shortly after opening http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/users/staceyd/ again (without downloading anything this time) and tabbing away from it within Firefox, Firefox hung and again had to be forced closed, but when I opened this page a third time in an attempt to reproduce the crash, it worked normally.
