This sounds a lot like 247542, which is marked fixed. But I can consistently
reproduce a crash on various Web sites, including www.nytimes.com and
www.sfgate.com. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1) Start Mozilla
2) Open a second tab on www.nytimes.com
3) Scroll using scroll wheel up and down a few pages worth.

Actual Results:  
Crash, and Talkback comes up.

Expected Results:  
Not crash

Talkback crash ID: 494907
There seem to be a bunch of other similar Talkback reports as well.

As this info seemed relevant before:
MacOS 10.2.8
Display set on Thousands of Colors

And I assume that it doesn't crash for you at millions of colors?

Comment 2

[Brian Stoler]

Brief tests show that it does not reproduce at Millions. I'll leave it in
Millions and see if it ever reproduces there.

despite bug 247542's following comment:
> Checked in to trunk, 1.7.1, and aviary.

1.7.1 does not actually contain that patch, since 1.7.1 and .2 are security
releases and contain a few hand-picked patches only.

thus, this probably _is_ a dup of that bug. I suggest trying a 1.7 branch
nightly from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/latest-1.7
