You may be able to help without giving your password. Does TalkBack pop up after
the crash? (do you have a talkback build installed? you can check by looking in
your install directory/components/ to see if there is something called
talkback.exe). If it is installed and it does pop up when you crash please send
in the incident which contains a stack trace. You can run the app by clicking on
the talkback.exe after it has sent in the report and it will display the
Incident ID for the crash you sent. Post the incident ID here. If you are not
running a talkback build you can get one by using the win32talkback.zip build or
by selecting complete install in the mozilla installer builds. thanks for your
help in testing and reporting bugs.

Reporter: Does this still happen with a more recent build (eg 0.9.7)?

0.9.7 is at
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/releases/mozilla0.9.7/mozilla-win32-0.9.7-installer.exe

I have had a similar problem and it is semi-reproducable
Making requests via a proxy sometimes either gives a "requested operationa
cannot be performed" or sometimes I get a page not found as if an incorrect page
was requested. (As the previous guy said, the "page" "crashes", not Mozilla). To
reproduce, set a proxy, go to http://www.google.com or
http://games.swirve.com/utopia (where I have had most problems, register to
play!)  and after a while, some GET and POST requests fail!

I will search for a related bug

This is probably another bug, but still relevant i hope.

1: ,'s look to much like .'s it would be nice to be able to use ;'s to seperate 
addresses, and make it easier for IE users to migrate

2: On IE migration, bypass local addresses eg 10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 etc.. and 
whatever the local lan settings are.

3: Again on IE migration, the exclusion list should be taken from IE's settings 
on install.

BTW. my email address is out of date.

oliver: I don't know if there is "IE" migration, try filing a new bug under
profile migration and see what they say...

Is there someone who can confirm this with a current build?

By e-mail from reporter: "Now works it right. I think, it was maybe in a script
on server site."

Marking WFM.
