Now you can use ubuntu-bug /path/to/crash to submit the report. You might have to copy the crash file out of /var/crash into a dir that you have read permissions on so that you can submit it. Please remember to select the profile that won't crash when submitting. Thanks. On 01/10/2010 02:39 P

Apport never asks me to submit a report. It never appears or prompts me in any way when Firefox crashes. Please tell me if I'm doing something wrong here: r...@rob-desktop:~$ sudo service apport start force_start=1 [sudo] password for rob: apport start/running r...@rob-desktop:~$ firefox -ProfileM

After using the new profile for a few minutes, it appears the problem was not due to my previous profile. The crash is caused when visiting certain websites (GMail among them, for example). As I had GMail open in a tab when I started Firefox, this caused the crash on start-up. Creating a completely

Creating a new profile partly solves the issue. The error: (firefox:3803): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times is still reported in the terminal but Firefox no longer segfaults. Apport didn't display its crash reporting window when Firefox crashed, but I have attached the /va
