This bug was fixed in the package firefox - 15.0~b2+build1-0ubuntu1
---------------
firefox (15.0~b2+build1-0ubuntu1) quantal-proposed; urgency=low
* New upstream release from the beta channel (FIREFOX_15_0b2_BUILD1)
* Update globalmenu-extension to 3.4 prerelease r422
+ Fixes for LP: #1025011 - HUD search crashes Firefox when Firebug
is installed
- Provide our own binding for menupopup nodes which derives from the
default binding and makes the "state" property work as if there
were a frame
- Make all menu nodes reference counted, and hold a strong ref when
dispatching events, in case the event results in the removal of menu
nodes

Bug description:
Searching for any text causes Firefox 13.0.1 to crash on Ubuntu 12.04
( both 32 & 64 bit **1).
Test case:
1. Hit ALT to bring up the HUD search box
2. Type one or more words into the textbox.
Expected result:
1. HUD appears ready to search
2. Results appear depending on the search term.
What actually happens:
1. HUD appears ready to search
2. Results appear, however firefox crashes shortly after.
== Additional information ==
Running firefox in safe mode makes HUD ignore firefox. In this
situation Firefox doesn't crash.
**1: I can reproduce this bug on 64 bit Ubuntu. Peter Cawkell is
experiencing this bug on 32 bit ( see coments )
