Thank you davidpbrown for submitting this report.

Could you please try to obtain a backtrace by following the instructions on

Please indicate which extensions/plugins do you have enabled; and if this crash

+ ... Firefox freezing Ubuntu forcing reboot
+ 
  I've just had Firefox freezing Ubuntu x10 in a row! The whole system
  locks up and is unresponsive.. mouse cursor is frozen and keyboard
  unresponsive.. I guess the windows manager crashes.
  
  I've seen other more specific bug reports but I can't relate to them.
  The only unique thing I have here is AMD64 and maybe that I click links
  before pages are fully loaded.
  
  There's no obvious consistency is the cause or timing.. though it's
  always just as a link is clicked. Twice was at gnome-look.org
  wallpapers, resorting by most downloaded but this has happened often on
  other sites.. rebooting and returning in the same way to the same page
  doesn't freeze up. This last hour the most frequently by far. Last time
  was clicking the registration link from the email from this site..
  almost put me off.
  
  I'm new to Linux so don't know the best way to capture useful data on
  this. Java not running, Javascript is enabled and certainly the sites it
  happens on are the type to use it and the links that cause it may well
  be javascripted (guess).
  
  Serious bug.. I'll look for another browser till it's fixed..
