User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031029 Firebird/0.7+

When the "shown here" link on the second page of the newsletter is clicked,
Firebird attempts to open a new window and crashes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to above address
2.Click on second page link at bottom of page
3.Click on "shown here" link one third the way down in the left column

Actual Results:  
A new window briefly appeared and then both Firebird windows crash/close

Expected Results:  
Opened link in new tab or window

This has happened on many sites and I just blew it off because of a bad build. I
got the new nightly and then the official 0.7, created new profiles and it
continued to happen.

Works for me with 2003-10-29 nightly on WinXP with Flash 7.
Try reinstalling the flash plugin or update it if you haven't already done so.
