[tam]

** Summary changed:

- Firefox 3 beta 5 crashes gdm when loading a specific web page in ubuntu 8.04 with compiz enabled
+ Firefox 3 b5 crashes xorg when loading ubuntuguide.org in ubuntu 8.04 with compiz enabled

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
  
  Visiting the following site on 2 consecutive occasions caused Firefox to crash and I was logged out of my x session
- http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
+ http://ubuntuguide.org/
  
- Environment: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS 32 bit
- Firefox version: 3 beta 5
+ This bug seems to affect nvidia 8xxx series cards and only occurs when
+ nvidia-glx-new drivers are enabled with compiz. A temporary fix is
+ posted which suggested updating the libwfb.so library with a newer one
+ provided from nvidia. The bug is most likely a product of firefox's
+ gecko engine and compositing. This bug will also occur in swiftfox or
+ any derivative of firefox.
+ 
+ Environment: Ubuntu 8.04 LTS 32/64 bit
+ Firefox version: 3 b5
  Firefox Installed plugins: Adobe flash player
