For the crashes, do you have a talkback ID?
Can you replicate this with Firefox running in safe mode?

you can contact me on yahoo messenger ID xdanx2001
i have tried in safe mode and yes the bug still is there. I am not so preoccupied with the crashes. Firefox crashes only when the Gecko bug apears.
