[Bug 90082] Firefox Possible Cause of System Reboot

[Maikeru]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

I'm running Ubuntu Edgy under VMWare Server on top of Windows XP, Intel
Core Duo 2.67GHz, 512MB of RAM assigned to the VM. I leave the server
running 24x7 but Ubuntu seems to be rebooting about once a day (never
when I'm home, I'll get home from work to be greeted by the X-windows
login screen). This time the bug reporter application (sorry, not sure
what it's real name is) said that Firefox had caused the crash and gave
me a crash file to send on. This install of Ubuntu is only about two
weeks old, Firefox updated to 2.0.0.2 from 2.0.0.1 a few days ago. The
following is from the /var/log/messages file for the time from when I
last used Ubuntu to when I came back from work.
