Having the most recent release of firefox and adobe flash, Firefox will still crash after about 15 minutes of using live.yahoo.com.  Works good for that first 15 minutes, but after that when I try to return to "Home" page live.yahoo.com, Firefox locks up.  Happens everytime.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to live.yahoo.com
2. spend about 15 minutes, navigating to different "channels" regularly.
3. click "Home", near top, firefox locks.

Does the problem occur also in Firefox Safe Mode?
(it temporarily disables add-ons and themes, this test will help us narrow
down the cause of the problem) --  See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode

Did this problem start with the 2.0.0.13 update?

No.  Ran for about an hour and twice it locked for a minute or so, but came back.  No crash.  When running normal mode I have McAfee SiteAdvisor, PicLens, and Foxmarks Book Synchronizer add-ons running.  I'll try removing add-ons one by one and see if that fixes it.

Never visited the site before 2.0.0.13 update.

live.yahoo.com runs fine now, running in normal mode with all add-ons enabled.  Yahoo may have made changes to the site, as a "Loading..." progress bar now appears when changing between channels.  I'll mark this as Invalid, but I'm a noob so it might need to be something else.
