[Bug 983042] [NEW] Browser (Firefox & Konkeror) crashing repeatedly after recent update

[Peter Service]

Public bug reported:

1.5 weeks ago I upgraded Ubuntu through Update Mgr and now firefox continually crashes citing GLX problems (GLXtest process failed (exited with status 1): GLX version older than the required 1.3). I installed Konkeror to research a fix and it crashes. All other programs seem to function, I can watch an .avi fine, all documents open etc.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, P
