On the page http://games.yahoo.com/games/login2?page=pl or any of the other game
pages on yahoo, I try to open a lounge, it opens and says applet loading. As
soon as the applet finishes loading, firefox crashes.
I know for sure it happens with Pool and Euchre.
I am using the latest version of Java - 1.5.0.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://games.yahoo.com
2. Click on "Pool"
3. Log in to yahoo
4. Click on any of the game lounge links
5. Wait for applet to load 


Actual Results:  
Firefox crashed

Expected Results:  
Opened the game room

I am using the default theme. Using Windows 98 SE, Java 1.5.0.

please check for components\talkback.exe, if you have it, please run it.
if it lists an incident id, please copy it to this bug.
if you don't have components\talkback.exe, please run the ff installer, select
custom install, select talkback, then repeat your crash and the steps listed
above. thanks.
There were three crashes but the quality feedback agent just wouldn't send them
and kept saying that it could not connect to the proxy while I don't use a
proxy! I was looking to report a bug for that too. I disabled talkback. Now to
enable talkback I uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and strange as it may
sound, I was able to crash firefox with the same page earlier while now, I am
playing Pool on yahoo games in an attempt to crash it! How weird is that?! Is
there anywhere I can find the older dump files and attach them here for you to see?
Probably a dup of bug 244538.
