Firefox crashes GNOME when visiting certain sites
Asked by
Ryan Cutter
I'm new to Ubuntu. Running Ubuntu 10.10 on my Gateway netbook in Desktop mode with GNOME 2.32.0. Firefox is 3.6.10.
On certain web sites (apple.com for instance), Firefox will initially load the page fine then the entire GUI quickly becomes corrupted. Lots of squiggly lines and weird symbols where English text should be. Even the menu items at the top of the screen outside the Firefox window are unusable. The only recourse is a system reboot.
It seems to happen on more sophisticated web sites - low-fi sites like yahoo.com work fine. As far as plug-ins, I have Shockwave Flash 10.1 r102 and QuickTime 7.6.6. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
