[Bug 360571] [NEW] Firefox version 3.0.8 locks up/crashes (display dims) when attempting to run a Youtube video, from my version of Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex)

[David Charles]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I'm new to Ubuntu and Linux - I've not posted any bugs before.

This is the verision of Firefox I'm running:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.8) Gecko/2009032711
Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.8

on version 8.10 Ubuntu (Intrepid Ibex). About 80% of Youtube videos
cause an application lock up. I have used the system monitor tool to
stop the process.

I hope the bug information I attempt to record is accompanying this
report.

Thank  you
