If you klick on 'x^2' (link) the next page uses javascript (i'm not sure) and
firefox shows no reaction it crashes. The site works fine with ie and opera. The
problem can be reproduced under linux (amd64) and windows98, but I think it a
general problem.

I can see the bug in Mozilla1.7, but not in the latest nightly trunk build.
Reporter, could you try this also with the latest nightly trunk build?

Could someone (you Ray?) make a simple testcase then? I can't reproduce this
with 20050312 trunk build.

I opened the page (under linux (32bit)) with firefox-1.0.1 and it worked, so it
seems that the bug is fixed.

Bug is not fixed.  Still gets into the problem with my nightly.  How can I
create a test case? Not sure on the specifics.  I can't cause it to crash
because it just freezes so I can't create a talkback ID.  Any ideas?

WFM now on my nightly.  Don't I feel embarrased :)

I suppose we can close it Complete-Invalid?

Maybe the people who experience it have some kind of extension installed? Does
it also happen with a clean profile?
