I am running the current Ubuntu Firefox, it appeared to be downloaded from the standard repository. Upon upgrading to Firefox 10, Firefox began to crash frequently.

I have not been able to find a rhyme or reason to the crashes but I do know that Facebook and the ANGEL course software used at my college will cause it to fail most of the time.

On ANGEL the issue is nearly 100% repeatable when uploading files. Facebook and all other websites, it occurs randomly. I haven't been able to find a consistent reason.

I am running Bodhi Linux 1.3.0, an Ubuntu 10.04 derivative.

You may find Ubuntu forums more useful if you are not running a nnonestandard version of Firefox, ( if you do find a solution elsewhere, a link would be appreciated). Note also at the moment there seem to be quite a few crashes of Firefox 10 being reported, they may even have suspended the automatic upgrading to Firefox 10.

For general information please read firefox crashes and after reading that see if you are able to obtain CrashID s and report what those are. I would also keep an eye on general posts in the forum and the article latest firefox issues

My distribution isn't supported by the Ubuntu forums people. There haven't been other reported issues I still need to try safe mode, but I find that it is worth noting because until now, Firefox had only rarely crashed since I started using it (version 2.0).
