A bit more testing. This seems independent of Desktop Environment (affects Xubuntu as well as Kubuntu) and graphics card (both ATI and nVidia tested positive). Furthermore have an issue without NoScript even installed where using the search bar can crash Xorg. Bottom line, while there may be faulty code in Mozilla Firefox causing the application to crash, IMO there still exists a burden on the part of Xorg to not crash when the application crashes. Just an opinion -- I'm not a developer just a user.
My system is not mission critical but this issue is severe enough to give one pause prior to installing this operating system in a mission critical environment if it is not resolved prior to release. ** Description changed: Binary package hint: firefox On Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 1 steps to repeat: 1. Install the NoScript extension 2. Restart Firefox 3. When the Ubuntu start-up page comes up, if you click on the NoScript icon in the lower right corner of the window it will cause a crash all the way back to GDM. I've logged in and done this enough many times to know it repeats with absolute certainty. What other factors affect this issue, I can only speculate.
