Smart Link, the "ImTranslator" add-on seems to be broken with multiprocess Firefox (e10s). If you have any questions about e10s support, just drop by the #e10s IRC channel on irc.mozilla.org or ask Jim Mathies on this bug. MDN also has a good introduction:

This WFM on latest Nightly. no crash when closing the translation widget.

If you can reproduce with latest version of the add-on on recent nightly, please feel free to re-open this report.
