+ Ok. I spent a little time working on this tonight. Every version of
+ firefox (2.0.20,3.0.6,3.1b2) crashes when loading www.vonage.com in the
+ same way.
+ 
+ In exasperation I installed opera. It crashes also. I then went back to
+ firefox and tried disabling javascript (this had no effect). I then
+ disabled "load images automatically".
+ 
+ That worked. This isn't exactly a good solution, but I think it points
+ in the right direction. Any ideas?

  Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
  
  I have a brand new Dell Inspiron 530n with Ubuntu 8.1 installed and
  fully patched. I'm running 3.0.6+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.10.1 and have
  found it crashes a lot. I thought I had reduced it to be a problem with
  Flash, and so had installed the FlashBlock addon. This solved some
  problems, but it still crashes.
  
  I've found today it will crash consistently when loading
  http://www.vonage.com. It loads most of the page, then the browser
  window closes.
  
  I ran an strace this morning while loading that page. The last lines are
  
  read(3, 0x88247d4, 4096)                = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable)
  poll( <unfinished ...>
  +++ killed by SIGABRT +++
  
  This is referenced above by
  
  open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY|0x80000 /* O_??? */) = 3
  
  Probably half the web sites I use crash in this manner. Any help would
  be most appreciated.
