Description

[nick.lovell]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

clicking on bookmark within  2-4 seconds after loading firefox results in crash.
This happens everytime as long as nothing has appeared on the webpage yet and it
is the first window opened. Easy workaround (wait for it to load the page), but
annoying.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.load firefox
2.click on bookmark (in the toolbar) as soon as the bookmarks appear without
clicking stop
3.Firefox freezes, press ctrl-shift-esc and end the app

Actual Results:  
Firefox freezes and has to ended

Expected Results:  
stopped opening my home page and gone to the bookmark

I'm using adblock, and I've enabled pipelining. Doesn't give me any crash ID -
just freezes.

found it only occurs when using gmail notifier (maybe when its checking mail at
the same time as I click to open firefox)

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs, filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
