Reporter, does the crash still happen when you are in firefox's safemode?

Hadn't tried until you asked.

Yes this issue still occurs in "Safe-Mode".

Are you using any extensions, and if so, try disabling them and trying it again.

Firefox/1.0.4 . Try a new profile (http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/profile
) it could work. You can get support here http://www.mozilla.org/support/.

I uninstalled all extensions.

I was able to successfully open the stated page.

Sorry to say, I didn't write down the extensions I had installed.

I've reinstalled several that I could find online, without incident (after restart).

I'll keep looking for the exact extension another day.  There are several still
missing.  If theres a quicker way to find them on the local disk, let me know.
