[Bug 238775] [NEW] Firefox randomly and silently exits

[Tristan Schmelcher]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I have a Dell XPS M1710 laptop with a pure, up-to-date Hardy 32-bit
installation. When using Firefox it will sometimes silently exit for no
apparent reason, as if it crashed, except that apport is not triggered
and there is no crash file in /var/crash. Upon restarting it I get the
standard "Start New Session / Restore Session" dialog, indicating it was
definitely irregular termination. The bug occurs about once every few
days.

Let me know what I should do to gather more information.
