I have Ubuntu 12.10 and it most of times crashes. I've disabled all plugins, resetted firefox, started in safe-mode, but still crashes. It even crashes in safe-mode after firefox reset.

I also did firefox purge via apt-get and re-installed it after cleaning apt-cache (re-download), still crashes...

Sometimes crashes becomes constant, I mean, it crashes right after I click on firefox icon, then I press quit, re-click on firefox icon ONLY, crash!, re-click crash! etc.

I checked /var/log/syslog and dmesg, can't find anything related to firefox or mozilla.

Please advice.

Try updating your local package index by running apt-get update before you reinstall Firefox. This will make sure you're installing the latest version.

There is a Firefox help page containing several suggestions for debugging Firfox crashes. Here are some of its suggestions:

  • Update Firefox | see above
  • Update Linux and drivers | run a full system upgrade by running apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
  • Check you RAM | on boot, hold shift when GRUB comes up and run a memory test.
