Firefox crashing my user account

[Donut417]

I have a weird Issue that just started today. Ill open up a new tab in Firefox and the screen goes black and takes me back to the log in screen. Im using Lucid Lynx. If it helps it mostly happens on flash based sites. I have flash block installed but it doesn't always help. Also it happens on random sites. But im not sure why this would log me out. And answers would be helpful.

Try to uninstall libmoon package.

sudo apt-get remove libmoon

try removing the search box by right-clicking firefox's panel, selecting Customize..., then grabbing the search-box and placing it in the pop-up dialog.

You can restore it the same way.

I don't think this is what the OP is asking for.

Looks like you have the issue described in this bug:

Lucid 2.6.32-16 crashed to login screen - miCopyRegion
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...er/+bug/539772

Found this because my Firefox has started segfaulting after some random amount of time. Unfortunately my behavior is different in that X doesn't crash entirely, just Firefox CTD.

Check if you have the proper flash version. See the Flash Optimization section of Firefox optimization and troubleshooting thread.
