Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

I'm running FireFox 3.5.4 on Ubuntu 9.10. It is a fresh install on a new
machine.

FireFox crashes routinely. It is not predictable in terms of time or
number of pages. But it is guaranteed to crash if given enough time and
activity.

I've had this problem almost continually with FireFox since at least
version 3.0 on all my Ubuntu machines. I've reported bugs before, but
was always told to create a clean, extension free profile. Which was  a
hassle, so I didn't bother.

Until now. Since I just installed Ubuntu and FireFox on a brand new
machine, and discovered immediately that the crash problem was still
here, I figured this was the time to make a definitive report.

I made a totally extension free profile and then just went around to
random web sites. It crashed within a minute.

Because I ran it from the command line, I have all the command line
output, which I'll share with you. It's attached in a text file to this
bug report.

I hope a solution can be found, because FireFox crashes like it's going
out of style.
