If I bring up my my.yahoo.com webpage, which is only configured by which news
tickers I read,  any link clicked on crashes mozilla.  This problem didn't occur
until I rebooted my linux box the first time after installing 1.4b. It ran fine
until tonight when I rebooted. (I downloaded it on the first day it was
available),  red hat 9, no patches or updates.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to my.yahoo.com
2.click on bush vows hunt for saudi bombers,  by reuters
3.watch browser crash

Actual Results:  
lost browser.  My install of Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1)
Gecko/20030225

works fine on the same link.

Reporter, could you install the latest nightly build and try it again?
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/

If your Mozilla still crash, please provide stacktrace or TalkBack incident ID.

wfm Mandrake 9.1 and Moz 2003051222 [took the tour and checked the weather in
SF]. I don't have any tickers.
Perhaps these tickers use Java and you're using an old version of Java, if any.
In the browser address bar, type about:plugins

What's your Java handler?
