Red hot smasher, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
However, your crash report is missing. Please follow these instructions to have
apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the
automatic retracer. First, execute at a terminal:
cd /var/crash && sudo rm * ; sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade &&
sudo apt-get -y install firefox-dbg && sudo service apport start force_start=1
If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable
apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.
Now reproduce the crash, then open your file manager, navigate to your
/var/crash directory and open the crash report you wish to submit.
If this fails you will have to open a terminal and file your report with
'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash' where _my_crash_report.crash is
the crash you would like to report. If you get an error that you aren't allowed
to access this report you will have to file it with 'sudo ubuntu-bug
/var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash'. If you run the command against the crash
report and a window pops up asking you to report this, but then never opens a
new report, you would be affected by
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/994921 . In order to
WORKAROUND this, one would need to open the following file via a command line:
gksudo gedit /etc/apport/crashdb.conf
and comment out the line:
'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'],
by changing it to:
# 'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'],
Save, close, and try to file the crash report again via:
ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash
Please follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs when you file
this crash report so the necessary information is provided.
I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will
automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more
efficiently.
Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
Firefox crashes/closes when switching desktops
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
If I start Firefox and switch over to another desktop (using alt-
left/right or the switcher button in unity), Firefox disappears but
it's process remains running in the background. I'm running Unity2D
since not all parts of Unity3D work properly since upgrading from
Natty.
