[Bug 227955] [NEW] Firefox crashes and closes when internet connection is lost (wireless and ethernet)

[shaundaws]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10) and am always up-to-date on the latest
updates. Some time in February-March, my Firefox started crashing
whenever the internet connection was lost. Likewise, if I start Firefox
without a connection to the internet, it will crash straight away.

I've noticed this behaviour when connected to the net via another PC
running windows XP via ethernet, and also when accessing a wireless LAN.
