User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2

When attempting to download the CuteMenus Extension from
http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/ the browser will
crash if other browser tabs are open. Downloading the extension
and then opening it does not reproduce crash because new Firefox
window is opened upon RightClick > open with.. > Firefox.
thanks.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a few browser tabs.
2.Create a new tab and open the http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/ page
by typing "firefox extensions" in the address bar (without the quotes )
3.Scroll to CuteMenus > click Install

Actual Results:  
crash with error messages that firefox has encountered a problem and will now close.

Expected Results:  
... not crashed ? seriously though I do believe that this bug is mainly an issue
with the CuteMenus xpi file trying to fondle firefox the wrong way. possibly
de-assembling the xpi and locating where exactly firefox gets a solid kick to
the unit and then in the next version of firefox pointing that location to NULL
might remedy this issue.

Bugs with an extension should be reported to the extension author, not as
browser bugs.
