WFM too, using trunk build 20020709-04 and WinXP.

Reporter : do you try with a blank new profile ? Are you using a 3rd party theme ?

1. Which video card do you use ?

Do you use a nvidia card and you get a crash in module "unkown" and it works if
you disable image loading ?

via mail :
Yes, that is exactly how Mozilla crashes, and I have a GeForce3 Ti200. Disabling
image loading allows the web page to load without killing Mozilla.

This is a bug in the nvidia win9x/Me drivers.
Please read the nvidia bug for more informations.
(This bug conatains a fixed .dll for 1.0)
