Locked due to duplicate. Duplicate solved here

I have FF 3.6.6 randomly crashing when I am not even doing anything. I have two websites open normally, neither of them uses Flash or any adobe plug-ins. One auto-refreshes content every few minutes, but it is text and basic JPG/GIF graphics (run by JavaScript I presume). The other site does nothing if I take no actions. But several times a day, FF just shuts down silently.

I am running on linux Mint 9 KDE Edition.

about:crashes says the URL is invalid.


Crash ID(s)

Also if it still says invalid URL try navigating to this directory

Linux: /home//.mozilla/firefox/Crash Reports/

and copy the BP=xxxxxxx files here.
