Intermittently Firefox 4.0.1 is crashing on Ubuntu 11.04 and logging out. Sometimes it happens if I open an arbitrary website such as http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk I am NOT streaming any videos. Please let me know how to solve this or at least reasons behind this.

I suspect it's an issue with your video card combined with newer Firefox technologies. Try turning off WebGL:
- Navigate to the URL
about:config
- Search for
webgl.disabled
- Make sure it's set to
true
(double-click on it if not)
If you want to debug the issue, you need to save the file ~/.xsession-errors
before login again in the desktop:
- Switch to a virtual text console by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F1
- Login
- Copy the file:
cp .xsession-errors name-of-desired-file
- Logout by executing
exit
- Switch back to the GUI by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F7 (or F8 if F7 didn't work)
- Profit! (read the bottom of
name-of-desired-file
from step 3)
