Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Summary:  General instability that results in Firefox crashing several
seconds after displaying the contents of the page / file.  Seems to be
localized to an update on or around the 9th of June, 2008.

Platform:  Ubuntu 8.04 amd64

Frequency:  Frequently (3 / 5 trials for manifestations)

Steps to Repeat:  Unfortunately this is a nasty bug that doesn't appear
to have any common underlying process to repeat it.  Thus far, the
general steps are to load a page and scroll or use it.

Additional Information:  I would think that this is probably related to
a newer Firefox update in relation to the nsplugin.  That said, this
happens with entirely non Flash driven sites including Launchpad.  The
general symptoms are Firefox crashing approximately two or three seconds
after displaying the contents of a web page or file.  It seems to arrive
in small 'spurts' (nsplugin possibly lingering around and causing issues
from start to start of Firefox?).

** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Incomplete
