This crash is currently ranked the #4 Windows crash on the trunk. All of the reports are startup crashes and the npwinext.dll seems to be associated with the MSN Toolbar from info I could find on the web example: - C:\Program Files\MSN Toolbar\Platform\4.0.0346.1\npwinext.dll

We have some OOPP problems here, starting with an easy to reproduce version of the illusive CallSetFocus hang (bug 545239). Looking at this now.

OOPP focus hangs will be fixed by the patch in bug 545239.

The current rev I downloaded was 5.0.1363.0, and I haven't experienced any crashing yet. Will keep looking, but maybe they've fixed this in the newer release.

this particular signature "npwinext.dll@0x33c79" seems to exist in  3.7a3 3.7a2 3.6.3 and 3.5.9 although its much more frequent on the trunk

It looks like there are no urls for this signature.

  13 "blank"
 154 \N

with the OOPP crashes do URLs still get passed along?

all crashes of the last 2 months have been version 3.x
