Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Upon closing FF3, the whole operating system comes to a halt. The only
functioning App is the little system monitor app. Firefox3 seems to
cause instability to the whole OS.
I have to reboot this laptop more than I had to reboot XP.
I've reinstalled Ubuntu three times now. Even the 8.04.1 LTS version. I
just can't seem to fix it myself.
It's definitely a major bug. And I tried to find a similar bug to
subscribe to, but they all have symptoms to this one.
The general FF3 symptoms:
Closing it the first time. Leave FF3 running. Go into system monitor to end the
process.
Closing it the second time and ending the process stops it from reloading it
again. Often it causes everything to freeze.
If it doesn't freeze the whole OS at this point, an attempt at opening again
will.
I hate, I repeat, I hate rebooting my computers. I can't even keep firefox
running for a few hours.
I know the bug fixers are busy, but why is FF3 having so many issues?
