I've had the same problem with no apparent fix. Finally I quit running 8.04. Unfortunately with the last Firefox update for 7.10 the problem also happens occasionally with 7.10 now.
I can be doing almost anything on the internet and suddenly nothing. Blank screen and nothing. I have Centrino Duo running at 1.66 GHz, with 1Gb RAM on a Toshiba U2005 notebook. So far the problem has not shown up on my Dell Optiplex on any distro. Another problem since Firefox 3.0 is the Toshiba will reboot on its own sometimes when Firefox is open. -- Firefox crashes for no reason + lost Ubuntu 8 Panel https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/229716 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
