wfm with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; de-DE; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050404

Reporter:
Please retest with a recent Trunk build. FF1.0 is to old to report bugs.

I had downloaded the latest version of Firefox (I think 1.0.2) from the 
website before testing this bug. Is this too old as well? 

Comment 3

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

yes, it's to old to report Gecko bugs.
the whole FF1.0.X line is with a Gecko from last year april.
Please install a nightly developer build from here
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/

(install it in a different location and you can uninstall it later)

Please reopen if you crash/have this problem with a nightly FF build or the Deer

release.
