I came across this by accident - I tried to reach a site that is normally up but
currently not accessible. On closing Firefox (before receiving the timeout
message), an error appeared: "XPCOM: EventReceiver: firefox.exe - Application
Error" "The instruction at 0x01682f7b referenced memory at 0x00000000. The
memory could not be 'read'".
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find a website that you control and can normally access.
2. Stop the server.
3. Try to view the webpage, but close the browser before getting the timeout error.
Actual Results:
Read Details above.
Expected Results:
Not made Windows mad enough to popup an error message.
I forgot to note - the site came back before I could disable my extensions, in
case they were the problem. I have: ieview 0.82, DictionarySearch 0.6.3,
Download Statusbar 0.9.1 , Magpie 3.1.2
And, not having a webserver to play with, I couldn't test this bug out elsewhere.
Sorry for coment-spam. The crash is happening if I close simply close any of
several sites while loading - http://www1.vajacases.com/home_en.html for
example. And this happens with or without all of my extensions enabled. I even
tried closing all other programs I had running and disabling my virus scanner,
but the error persists. I wonder if this is just my machine, as I would have
expected someone to notice this much sooner, but didn't see a similar bug in
searching.

did you disable your extensions and restart FF before trying again ?
Only 2 things come to mind, when the page contains a java applet or a pdf.
In all other occations you should be able to close the browser w/o
consequences/popups
I'm fairly certain now that this is a 'just me' thing. As unexpectedly as the
bug began, I began noticing it happen with other programs; something was just
out of whack with Windows. Having just finished a format/reinstall and surfed
around per normal with my standard extensions I've noticed no problems. Sorry
for the false alarm!
