[Bug 872766] [NEW] firefox crashes after click on link

 

Public bug reported:

Sometimes after I clicked on a link, firefox crashes and the "report this crash to the devellopers" window opens. From then on I am unable to start firefox, as it crashes again every time (session manager recovery window pops up for a short moment, then it disappears and the "report this crash to the devellopers" window opens.).
Even safemode will not work!

Re-installing firefox fixes the problem for some time, (even the link
that "caused" the crash),  then everything starts again.

Description:	Ubuntu 11.04
Release:	11.04

firefox  7.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.1 (and some older versions as
well)
