Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

I typed "it" into the awesome (hah!) bar which brought up the URL: http://itc.conversationsnetwork.org/

When I press enter, I got a dialog with the following. I was in the middle of updating my Ubuntu packages, if that matters. I also installed the Macromedia Flash Plugin package.

Same problem here: it happens every time I try to go to a site by entering it in the address bar or by using the drop-down history list.

Bookmarks and links work normally.

It started today without me changing any settings, possibly the result of leaving Firefox running while it was updated (my system hasn't been shut down for days).

amd64 Hardy, JavaScript off.

Restarting the system cured this.
