Thanks so much.  I saw the message "do you want to attach a file" but I
didn't know WHAT file or where it was.  I'll save this for future
reference.

Can't wait for Linspire to open CNR to Ubuntu users.

A crash dump is a file that has useful information about the crash and
the OS environment. So usually when a Ubuntu program crashes then a tool
called apport intercepts the crash and instructs the user on how to
proceed to report the crash (that was the window you saw when firefox
crashed). Usually when a crash dump file is generated it's saved at
the /var/crash/ directory so apport asks you if you want to attach that
file to your crash report. The file you have to attach
is /var/crash/_usr_lib_firefox_firefox-bin.1000.crash.
