I tried out more and found out that xorg only crashes if I have the firefox add-on noscript activated in firefox while I open www.nationalgeographic.com. If I deactivate noscript in the firefox extra->add-ons menu then xorg does not crash at all when opening the nationalgeographic web site.
I also tried removing all plugins, .i.e I did this sudo apt-get remove mozilla-plugin-vlc sudo apt-get remove adobe-flashplugin sudo apt-get remove sun-java6-plugin totem-mozilla sudo apt-get remove icedtea6-plugin sudo apt-get remove rhythmbox-plugins rhythmbox-ubuntuone-music-store sudo apt-get remove adobereader-deu And this removal of all firefox plugins did not change the crashing. So it seems to me that this is a bug in xorg which is triggered by a combination of firefox and its add-on noscript. My installed version of noscript is 1.9.9.74 -- Frequent Xorg crashes on ATI RV250 graphics, radeon driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576355 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
