I wanted to add to this thread as this is one issue that frustrates me while making the switch from Windows to Ubuntu. I am willing to test anything if anyone has any ideas.
I am running Jaunty 64-bit. Right now it is running out of the box with only the following apps added. Flash VLC with codecs JDK 6 from Sun (Not through Synaptec) Jedit FlightGear Atlas Let me know how to provide the specific package names and I will get them. I believe I have identified Flash as the common thread when Firefox hangs. It seems when Firefox hangs it is when I am on a page that has flash ads. To try and get more info about the crashes, I ran Firefox from a terminal. I did some normal surfing of the web and eventually stopped at espn.com. I got pulled away from my computer and left the browser at the ESPN page. When I came back about 30 minutes later, Firefox was hung. I tried to manually kill the npviewer process, which has worked in the past, but it just became a zombie and I had to force quit Firefox. I have attached the output fromt he terminal session in hopes it provides some details that might help. Let me know if there is anything else I can provide or test.
