Hi all. No idea what happened, but my browser simply started crashing today.

Here I have its gdb backtrace. As you can see, it crashes right inside of its own crash-reporter (google-breakpad):

OK, apparently something has been broken with my Software Center. Version 28.0 is pretty old, after all.

So I just launched Update Manager and updated everything to 14.04.1.

Now Firefox runs and displays 32.0 in its "About" dialog.
