Just stopped by to see if anyone else has reported it. Amusingly enough, I asked the other local user of Ubuntu about it, and he said his Firefox does it, too--but he's never bothered to report it. He just figured it was because he has too many Firefox windows open, which got me to try the experiment of running with one window and doing everything in tabs-- but it still crashed.
Actually, in my case the crashes have become more frequent again. I still use the Ubuntu machine every day--but not for anything serious or important. I have to assume that Firefox may shut down at any time and for no apparent reason. Meanwhile, I have started looking at Windows 7 machines, but not too seriously yet... I'm going to wait for one more upgrade cycle (as in next month) to see which way things are going. Unless there is clear evidence that Ubuntu has turned the corner, I'll just give up on the machine and let it take Ubuntu with it. On the other hand, if I only have direct access to one Firefox on Ubuntu user and if he has a similar problem to this one, maybe I should wonder about the frequency of the problem? Maybe the surviving Ubuntu users are just becoming accustomed to this sort of flakiness? -- Unprovoked shutdowns of Firefox https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/612131 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
