Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
The Firefox crashes when Internet connection is not available, and the Firefox
is launched.
Not only it crashes, it brings the whole machine down.
I have TV cable internet, so this seldom happens, this time my wife unplugged
the modem power supply. So I don't have many instances to observe all the
details of what it does. I know a couple of times it recovered, but i think the
modem and the gateway was powered up, it just lost handshake. This last time
everything went gradually down. Even after reboot it wouldn't clean up!!!, it
kept saying "another Firefox is already running, you must close it before you
start the new one" or something to that effect.
It finally cleaned up in recovery mode
Oh yea, i am using Ubuntu 8.04
My Machine:
IBM Think Pad R50e
1.5GB Centrino chip set
