[Bug 2026309] [NEW] Unprovoked shutdowns of Firefox

[shanen (Shannon Jacobs)]

Public bug reported:

Actually my search led me to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.5/+bug/612131 from
many years ago, and I was not amused to see how much of it is still
quite applicable so many years later. Even less amusing is that it
appears the bug remains open. But I'm hoping this is a new version, eh?

Main symptom is an immediate shutdown of Firefox. Usually the restart
succeeds, though the other day it happened a second time. Sometimes it
crashes Ubuntu, too, causing a complete restart.

Since I didn't spot any recent matches in the bugs, I suspect my
situation may be unusual, and the most likely peculiarity is that I'm
running in Oracle's VirtualBox. However, the problems have definitely
become worse with the new version of 23.04 version of Ubuntu.

I strongly suspect the newly divided update system is part of the
problem. Fairly often there are updates on the Updates tab, but no can
update. Two of them right now, gnome and core, but "snap has no updates
available" is the response when Update is clicked.

And this is why I feel so weakly motivated to use Ubuntu for any
production work... But Firefox has plenty of discouraging problems, too.
