Well this is very simple. If you click once in the google search box on the top
right of the firefox browser ... then hit enter (with nothing is the search box)
the program crashes and shuts down. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click in the google search box on the main browser window.
2.With a blank search box hit enter.
3.The program then crashes and gives the option of being debugged or closed.

Actual Results:  
The program must be restarted manually.

Expected Results:  
Gone right to google like it did in version 1.0 but this problem just started in
version 1.01

disabled?

It does this all of the time with either a new profile or all extensions
disabled ... doesn't matter

Another thing about this that I noticed is that if you were to copy a link on a
web page then paste it into the url bar on the top of the firefox browser the
program also crashes.

For example if you right click and copy a link then paste it into firefox the
program will just crash. Even if it's a new tab, or a new window it happens all
the time.

I have same problem on linux. Problem was that I was unable to open file
google.src. So I believe this will be same problem. FF doesn't test if file was
correctly opened
