I just wanted to let everyone know that the problem I was having turned out to be related to my RAM. I started to get segmentation faults in programs other than firefox, which prompted me to remove some of my RAM cards. I am now running with 2GB instead of 4, and all problems have gone away.
So it seems that I was either having a hardware problem, or there is something wrong with the memory management. I suspect a hardware problem, though it is strange that it coincided perfectly with the installation of 9.04: I never had any seg faults before. -- Firefox crashes in Ubuntu 9.04, seemingly at random https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370603 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
