when clicking on some link (not always the same ones) or checking mail through 
outlook express while running mozilla 1.1, windows explorer crashes losing 
keyboard and mouse control. This usually forces a restart. Please note this 
does not occur using Internet Explorer 6 under the same conditions (like 
filling out this form)

Steps to Reproduce:
1.have mozilla and outlook running
2.either click send/recieve mail or click on a link in mozilla
3.

Actual Results:  
GUI hangs, no HD activity, no mouse/keyboard control, after several hours 
of "patience" explorer quits and restarts loosing all unsaved data. Or forcing 
a manual restart.

Expected Results:  
mozilla should self quit without affecting the GUI or any part of the OS

while Mozilla shouldn't do bad things, the problems you describe are mostly
Windows' fault.  Does Mozilla actually crash (quit and bring up talkback) or
just hang?

please try a newer release (1.2b) or a nightly build
