Can you please use a build with talkback and give us a talkback ID from such a
crash ?
(run program files\Mozilla.org\Mozilla\components\Talkback.exe to ghet the ID
after Talkback submitted the crash)

And where is yahoo news ? (an example URL always bnelongs in such a bug report)

via mail :
I appologize for not giving all the info.
Yahoo news is at: HTTP://news.yahoo.com/
The Audio/Video link is on the left side in a blue
colum.
Talkback ID# TB16748W

no crash in Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b)
Gecko/20040416 with realplayer 10 or windows media 7.1 used. More videos
available on http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=index2&cid=1033.

1.7b from 20040316 is pretty old in dog years. James, can you reproduce this bug
with a more recent Mozilla 1.7 build?
