Apparently there is a flash related bug, but in my case initial symptoms were exactly the same. Only FF crashed randomly. Opera was rock solid, as was the rest of software was using on daily basis. I diagnosed the problem only because one day things got really bad, and I started to have segmentation faults randomly in all programs. In my case one of 1GB memory modules was broken. All worked stable as far as only some part of RAM was used. But when memory usage reached certain level I received seg faults. Unfortunately only FF consumed enough RAM to encounter this issue. I checked again plugging only the fault module and system became totally unstable.
Surely there is a bug in flashplugin-nonfree but it causes FF to crash on flash content. You could try replacing nonfree with gnash. Try to debug the crash to see what is the main cause of crashes. -- firefox crashed randomly with segmentation fault https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212092 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
