I'm opening myself up to many people who will say 'well use this browser instead' but hey.:¬) I use Firefox version 1.5.0.13pre (and Ubuntu 6.06 LTS) and when I have a webmail application open a bit too long (an hour or so say - I've not timed it) it will freeze when I try to sign out. I have looked for information that is specific to this version but while 2.0 is covered this one isn't it seems. Has anyone found a work around that works?
Well, the obvious immediate question would be "why are you using a version of Ubuntu that's over a year old".
The second obviousy question would be: what plugins/extensions have you got installed in firefox? Have you tried disabling them all? Does that make a difference?
And when you say "freeze", is it just firefox that freezes or does it take out X while it's at it? Glancing around it appears that the issue might have been fixed in 6.10, but being a debian user (and mostly unstable on my own machines and etch on the workstations at work), I haven't got an ubuntu machine to test on (or, infact, a gmail account... why would I want my e-mail indexed by a large company that already indexes the things that I want public anyways?).
Thanks,
