[Bug 309505] [NEW] firefox 3.05 crashes ubuntu 8.10

[kurt]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

When I booted off my install cd I was able to run X, my network, firefox
(3.03 I think).  With no problem.  So I installed, picked the defaults.
The first time I started firefox, it came up and then I got a blank
white screen with a few very small color test lines on it.  System is
completely unresponsive and requires power cycle.

When I rebooted it, it wanted to get software updates - lots of them.  I
let it rip.   After that, I was at least able to start firefox (I see it
is now 3.05).  However, on occasion  it will crash and my whole system
goes with it.  I haven't been able to replicate the crashes via any
particular web site or content, but will attempt to do so.

My system is HP dx5150MT Athlon64 4000 although I installed the 32 bit
version of the OS.
