Firefox suddenly and without and explanation exits when playing some
clips on youtube. Please see the link below:

On my computer firefox exits after about 2 minutes of playback. This
does not happen with all youtube clips but only some but with the linked
clip it happens everytime. I've also seen it happen when playing video
clips on other sites.

I'm using an HP nx6325 laptop with a fully updated version of "feisty
fawn" as of April 8, 2007. I'm using the NDIS wrapper for the broadcom
network card (BCM4310) - I don't know if this has any bearing on the
problem but it is a change I've made to the driver configuration after
install so I thought I should mention it.

I also have an IBM T41 laptop running kubuntu 6.10 "edgy eft"  which
never exhibits this problem. Since "edgy eft" does not exhibit the
problem but "fesity fawn" does I thought this needed to be reported as a
bug.

This may be related to bug 28947 or bug 77213.

PS. I checked "I don't know" for the package this occurs in as the drop
down box for package information was empty and had nothing to click on.
I apologize for any confusion this may cause.
