Dani, did you just upgrade Mozilla before that crash appeared? Had you spellchecker installed with an older version of Mozilla before? For each Mozilla version you have to make sure that the correct spellchecker version is installed. Did the crash report/talkback window come up? Can you tell us the talkback ID? (start talkback.exe in your components folder in the mozilla directory)
Got private mail from reporter saying that he just upgraded from 1.2.1, TB18480588Q. Old spellchecker versions are known to be incompatible and cause crashes. At the moment you have always to install current versions from spellchecker.mozdev.org. The 1.3 version is available there (be sure to not choose the 1.4a version!). -> INVALID Dani, please post such answers directly as comments in the bug report (as opposed to using mail), so everybody can read them. This will automatically generate mails for all interested persons (this is how you got mail from me). You may just follow the link at the top of the mail with my questions to get to the bug report page.
