This does not occur for a while after reboot. However, once the first crash has happened, a restarted Firefox will reliably continue to crash every time it is switched *to*. So, starting Firefox works; restoring the previous session works; navigating around, choosing different tabs, adding new tabs works. Switching away from Firefox works. However, switching back to Firefox causes it to crash every time. A reboot cures the problem (until it starts again). Crash report sent to Mozilla (about a zillion times) and should be therefore attached to this bug by apport, but if not: https://crash- stats.mozilla.com/report/index/bp-dbbaef36-287e-4e2b-85bd-4ef8e2120810 Disabling Firebug seems to have cured the problem. [SRU justification] Looking through Mozilla's crash database, we're currently responsible for about 1500 crash reports per week (taking in to account the different variations of this trace), second only to Flash See some comments from our very unhappy users - https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/03c68f08-14ed-42ab-bb12-db4212120811 : "browser keeps crashing as soon as i run it. cant do anything" https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/fc95cd37-cdc9-458b-b373-d6a2d2120815 : "Firefox keeps crashing everytime I open it, unless I open in safe mode." https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/010be177-7e91-446d-b823-845442120813 : "Just starting gives me a crash" https://crash- stats.mozilla.com/report/index/3b04c9ab-0884-4205-a301-ca4132120811 : "Again I just start Firefox and it does not stay for one second, before he kill himself..." https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/c8ee0432-befe-427e-bdad-c67b62120811 : "This happened at startup.

[Test case] - Update Firefox, perform whatever steps were necessary to trigger the crash before (this could be opening the HUD, opening the menus, switching focus to Firefox or just starting it - this really depends on which way the wind is blowing) and verify it doesn't crash [Regression Potential] - None, it's just a null pointer check and another small change to ensure that menus are disposed of fully to avoid leaving duplicated (and orphaned) entries in the Firebug menu ProblemType: BugDistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: firefox 15.0~b2+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1~mfn1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-27.43-generic 3.2.21 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-27-generic x86_64 AddonCompatCheckDisabled: False AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
