I was doing the known bug 
"Deleting an entry from the history sidebar, then invoking the Clear Private Data tool can result Firefox crashing"
(bug 426275)
then it crashed. But then, When I started Firefox 3, i cleared private data. Then i restored the session. I cleared then restored 3 times, and it kept saying,"Mozilla has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.On startup,clear private data.
2.Restore session.
3.It crashes.
Actual Results:  
It says ,"Mozilla has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

Expected Results:  
Opened the browser window.

I just updated to Windows Service Pack 3.

FF 3: Works fine for me but now I have no option to restore previous session or start new session. I will try again later and file a new bug ticket if necessary.

-> Firefox:General as this might be more related to Places than to Session Restore.

No reply, INCO. Please reopen if this happens in Firefox 3.5.1 or later in a new profile.
