Description

[Richard Silverstein]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/0.9.3 StumbleUpon/1.997

While visiting a website, FF developed a conflict with the site & crashed.  FF
also will not allow me to play sound sample files at this site.  As a resultof
the crash, I lost all text I'd been typing into my blog post edit box (an hour's
worth of serious research went to waste).

I was wondering if there'd be a way to create an extension that would save the
material in such text boxes before the browser crashes; or barring that if
there'd be a way to create an autosave extension that would save such text via
an autosave timed interval chosen by the user.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
1.after opening url, right-click on image & then left click on properties
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
it broght up the crash report screen.  After I generated the report the browser
crashed.

Expected Results:  
opened the properties box for the image

Regrding the bug related to listening to the sound samples at the same site:
when I right-clip on the audio sample link then WMP opens & identifies the clip.
 But then I get an error saying that WMP cannot play the clip.

The site owner says he has no problems with IE browser at his site but has had
conflicts with "other" browsers.
