+ Ok. I spent a little time working on this tonight. Every version of
+ firefox (2.0.20,3.0.6,3.1b2) crashes when loading www.vonage.com in the
+ same way.
+
+ In exasperation I installed opera. It crashes also. I then went back to
+ firefox and tried disabling javascript (this had no effect). I then
+ disabled "load images automatically".
+
+ That worked. This isn't exactly a good solution, but I think it points
+ in the right direction. Any ideas?

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
I have a brand new Dell Inspiron 530n with Ubuntu 8.1 installed and
fully patched. I'm running 3.0.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.10.1 and have
found it crashes a lot. I thought I had reduced it to be a problem with
Flash, and so had installed the FlashBlock addon. This solved some
problems, but it still crashes.
I've found today it will crash consistently when loading
http://www.vonage.com. It loads most of the page, then the browser
window closes.
I ran an strace this morning while loading that page. The last lines are
read(3, 0x88247d4, 4096) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily
unavailable)
poll( <unfinished ...>
+++ killed by SIGABRT +++
This is referenced above by
open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY|0x80000 /* O_??? */) = 3
Probably half the web sites I use crash in this manner. Any help would
be most appreciated.
