For some reason, one _one_ computer, whenver I open gmail and close the tab, FF crashes (closes). FF3 also closes randomly.

I've tried with a new profile, as well as with epiphany, where I experience the same issues.

I reinstalled a week ago and kept /home (because of this issue) but that hasn't helped.

Any ideas?

Provide some details, such as the version of Ubuntu and Firefox.

I honestly don't know why... but is it only when you open gmail?

You can also try Opera web browser. :D

Heh. But opera isn't free(tm).

I use gmail fine on both my 32 bit and 64 bit installs of ubuntu with FF3.

What plugins do you have installed?

I have flash installed from the repos.

Other than that...

The same issue occurs on new profiles in FF, as well as in epiphany.

Given that Firefox 3 is stable now on Linux and FFox 2 has been stable (if gluttonous) for some time, this has to be a library mismatch on this particular computer. I'd say uninstall Firefox and all Gecko related things and then re-install.

I havn't yet tested with a FF2 yet... but...

In any case, I just reinstalled to see if that would fix the problem (plus I borked my old one) and no change occurd on a fresh system. Maybe it's an obscure pref...
