Firefox Unbuntu 11.10 64 bit

[Dane Mutters]

Gerry,

I don't think this is the best place to post this question; the Ubuntu
forums would be more appropriate.

That said, it's almost certainly a plugin or extension that's going awry.
Start Firefox and don't go to any pages that make it crash.  Then, go to
Tools > Addons and disable every extension and plugin, except for the Flash
one.  If it doesn't crash, then you definitely have a problem with one of
the other add-ons.  Enable one at a time, restarting Firefox when it says
you need to, and go back to a flash page.  Be sure to set your startup page
to something without Flash content.  (Go to Edit > Preferences > General
Tab and select the appropriate options.)  Keep enabling one add-on at a
time until something makes it freeze.  When that happens, then the last one
you enabled is the problem.  Disable it again and keep enabling stuff
one-at-a time, to make sure there's not more than one problematic add-on.

You can contact me directly at dmutters at gmail.com if you still have
problems.  (It's probably best to keep tech assistance questions off of the
development lists.)

Good luck!

P.S. When you get it working, it would be good to post your solution to the
Mint or Ubuntu forums, with "[SOLVED]" in the title.
