Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Hi

The bug report that I am sending doesn't concern Ubuntu 9.04 but Ubuntu 9.10 beta. I have never submitted a bug report to Ubuntu before and I wasn't aware of the Apport tool beforehand. 
I installed 9.10 out of curiosity to see if the stability and performance problems I experience with the  fglrx driver 9.04 would be resolved in 9.10. However, after I enabled the driver by pressing the Restricted Hardware Drivers icon and rebooted the computer, I was presented with a black display – no splash screen, no log on screen, just black (and the caps lock light was blinking). I have since re-installed 9.04 on this system – which explains why some of the auto-generated information in this report isn't correct.
Also, and I don't know if this is a related problem or not and whether I should file a separate bug report, after installing 9.10 and being prompted to reboot, the screen would flicker between being black and showing the wallpaper, and the only way to stop the machine was by pressing the off button on the computer. This was before the ATI driver was enabled.
