Reporter, did you submit your crash information? If so, please let us know your
TalkbackID. If not, please crash again and submit crash information.
Also, do you crash if you start firefox in its safemode?

If you don't, this is probably an extension problem.

On Windows XP Home Edition SP2:  similar to a FF 1.0.4 crash caused by using the
Compaq optical mouse to select (highlight) text to be copied (from a web page),
then pressing the righthand mouse button by mistake, i.e., instead of pressing
the lefthand mouse button to end the selection process.  Several running
applications were apparently not affected by the FF crash.  However, FF would
not run again, until I rebooted Windows XP.  There was nothing produced by the
Quality Agent, nor did Windows XP report any errors or "events".
