Thank you for your comment and polite suggestion, but that doesn't seem to be a very plausible diagnostic step. If I had some step to reproduce the problem, then it would be useful, since I could try it both days, but as a just "wait and see" step, it seems useless. The lack of anything happening would prove nothing, and I would have to hope for the luck of something happening (since a crash would be the case proving the disabled extensions were not the cause). I use two of the extensions quite heavily, and if I have to be severely inconvenienced, then I might as well go back to Windows and wait for the Ubuntu people to get their act together.
I am willing to run a certain number of diagnostic tests, especially including tests that might make the problem reproducible (and therefore fixable). I am willing to search the logs for evidence if someone will give me some hints about what to search for. However, I am not willing to work as a random beta tester. If the software isn't ready for real use, then I'm sorry, but I have some things I really want to do. I will say that I have not seen any recurrence of the Firefox-only crash that I reported in this bug. However, just this morning I have seen two recurrences of a more serious crash, the white screen of death, which might possibly be related to it. I hadn't seen any of them for quite a while, so now I'm pretty worried again. The white screen of death is a total lockup of the system, not just Firefox, and requires a total power down and reboot... -- firefox 2.10 freezing gutsy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173198 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
