This doesn't happen for me on Firefox 13.0.1, 64-bit 12.04. Since this is a crash bug, there are two options:
1) Follow the steps at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs?action=show&redirect=DebuggingFirefox#Crashes to run Firefox under GDB and post the output log file as an attachment here 2) Close this bug, and then use Apport to file a crash bug the next time this happens. An Apport dialog should come up automatically right after the crash which should assist you. Or you can just search for a .crash file for firefox in /var/crash and then run this command apport-bug /var/crash/NAME_OF_CRASH_FILE.crash which will file a new bug with the required info. Marking Incomplete for now, please take either one of the two actions.

Test case: 1. Hit ALT to bring up the HUD search box 2. Type one or more words into the textbox. Expected result: 1. HUD appears ready to search 2. Results appear depending on the search term. What actually happens: 1. HUD appears ready to search 2. Results appear, however firefox crashes shortly after. == Additional information == Running firefox in safe mode makes HUD ignore firefox. In this situation Firefox doesn't crash. **1: I can reproduce this bug on 64 bit Ubuntu.
