User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

I'm not sure what this causes and if you can trace the problem. I use ff-1.0.4
de-de and if i click on the link, then firefox just closes. I tried the same
with IE6 and it closes as well. So i guess its not a Firefox problem, but there
should be a way to fix that though. I had the same problem on some other page
before but I dont remember the URL. With Firefox < 1.0.4 I never had this
experience.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. going to http://www.pc.ibm.com/de/thinkpad/
2. clicking on Thinkpad R Series
3. 

Actual Results:  
Firefox crashes/closes

Expected Results:  
show the webpage

Can you provide a Talkback ID?

WFM with Mozilla 1.8b1 and Firefox/1.0+ Gecko/20050521 without Java enabled and
Mozilla 1.7.7 with Java 1.5 enabled, maybe related to the blaze3d applet?

Im not sure if i installed the quality feedback agent. I will try when i am at
home. Here at work (firefox 1.0.1 (i know i should update)) the site works
properly and firefox doesnt crash.

You could manually install it, the best thing would be you test this by
installing the FF 1.1 alpha from
http://download.mozilla.org/?product=deerpark-alpha1&os=win&lang=en-US. Choose
Custom setup type, there you can force that the quality feedback agent gets
installed (on Standard setup Talkback only gets installed on 20% of all installs).

Hi,

i tried the 1.1. alpha and started the talkback agent, but when i go to the
site, then it just closes (firefox) and the talkback agent sees nothing.

Here is another site i found that seems to cause the same error:
http://www.geoserver.nrw.de/home/OgcWmc.html
(this site uses java and ie6 crashes too.)
I got java from sun on this comp...i will try updating if  theres a new version
and tell if that fixed it.

Sorry, it was a problem with Java. No clue what it was, but i uninstalled and
reinstalled it. Now the sites work properly for me.
