This is not an easy bug to reproduce, but once you get the nack of it it does
crash Firefox.

This is impossible to reproduce on the latest nightly build, because it doesn't
allow the user to select a link outside the current dialog, so you /must/
address whether to install or cancel before you would be given the ability to
click the link again.  Resolving WFM since I can't reproduce.  If the reporter
wishes to refile the bug, please list a Talkback ID for the crash next time, as
that is immensely helpful to the developers.
