This works for me Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; fr-FR; rv:1.7.7)
Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3 . If you get more information on how to reproduce
the bug please reopen. You can get support here http://www.mozilla.org/support/ .

Change to the original.  If you go directly to the url, it does work.  Go to 

http://java.com/en/

and click the "Manual Download" link.  That causes the crash.  Strangely, it
goes to the url I originally showed but causes a crash that going directly to
the url doesn't.

From a direct email.
Are you using Firefox 1.0.3 or Mozilla 1.7.7 or a later build?

----------
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414
Firefox/1.0.3 (ax)
Is Mozilla Firefox 1.0.3. 

Thousands of Firefox users use that site a day, several likely use that link. If
Firefox 1.0.3 crashed all the time on that page we would have heard of it already.

Could you try following step 1 paragraph 2 "Create a new Firefox profile"
http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/bugs#latest to see if that fixes the problem.

Pleas eprovide a Talkback ID from that crash if you crash in the Firefox
safemode or with a new profile

Still works for me.

After having the crash work uniformly on three related browsers, I now can't get
it to work.  Beats me what happened, but until I can get the thing to act up
again in a more uniform fashion, drop the bug.
