CLI output:

user@hostname:~$ firefox 
Couldn't get object: TypeError: Components.classes[cid] is undefined
Can't find symbol 'glXBindTexImageEXT'

Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Steps to reproduce:
1. Buy the wrong laptop (a dell XPS 15z in my case)
2. Open a few tabs, pressing "view page source" seems to help too.

Title:
  Firefox crashes on systems with nvidia optimus

Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Firefox crashes on systems with nvidia optimus that have Bumblebee
  (https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee) installed. This is
  down to Hardware Acceleration being enabled by default. Firefox tries
  to load the nvidia module but this fails and the system crashes.

  It is fixed by disabling Hardware Acceleration trough the settings
  (Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> General -> Use hardware
  acceleration when available)

  (x)ubuntu version: 11.04
  Firefox version: 6.0+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.11.04.1

  I will enable hardware rendering again and restart firefox so I can
  paste the output on the CLI
