Are you on a network that blocks external pings?

Yes, really it is the packet loss test that just sits there.

This seems to be a distro specific issue. Please report it to Ubuntu's Launchpad, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu

Reporter, are you still seeing this issue with Firefox 3.6.13 or later in safe mode? If not, please close. These links can help you in your testing.

You can also try to reproduce in Firefox 4 Beta 8 or later, there are many improvements in the new version, http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html

Trying to go to pingtest.net causes Firefox 4b10 to shutdown completely. Win7 x64

Jim please file a new bug. If possible with a Mozilla Crash reporter ID if present. The Windows and Linux plugins are different enough to warrant a new bug. Please cc me on the new bug [e-mail] thanks.

Kevin
  Firefox closes completely and has to be manually restarted. When that is done all I see is "Well this is embarrasing..." screen showing a list of previously opened tabs and allowing to to reopen them or start a new session. Crash reporter never runs.

Fixed the problem here. The pingtest.net caused FFox, IE and Opera all to crash. I uninstalled all Flash installs and Java and resinstalled them. Browsers no longer crashes.

No reply, INCOMPLETE. Please retest with Firefox 3.6.13 or later and a new profile (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). If you continue to see this issue with the newest firefox and a new profile, then please comment on this bug.
