Yep, it works now, here too ...
But the IQ Advertisment has changed : there was something with completing the
fourth tile that ...
I am very bad at describing and I see no way to help find back what caused both
ff1.0.4 and ff1.0+ to crash a dozen times. I may just wait for next time
the ad I suspect is back.
Sorry.

Did you submit any crash information using Mozilla Talkback. If so, what
TalkbackIDs are your crashes? You can find this out by running
../firefox/components/talkback.exe and copy&pasting the IDs here.

Here are they : TB6169946Y, TB6169918X.
(My address may be wrong in one of them)

Hmm, neither of those talkbacks have any useful information in (not your fault
or anything Laurent; don't know why they're not showing more information like
they usually do).

can you try in -safe-mode

Windows start menu -> Firefox -> safe mode

I´m seeing this ad:

There are a lot of smaller ads in the left and the right column, maybe one of
these was flash?
Do you use an ad blocking extension, like Flashblock, or so?
Do you have Flash installed?
Do you have Java installed and enabled?

This sort of crashed Deer Park Alpha 1.  This entire browser did not crash but
when I clicked on the tabs or tried to close them it started to act wierd and
the would not always work.  After I closed a few tabs and open a couple more it
was back to normal.

[Laurent G.]

Yes I have those : adblock, flashblock and java installed and enabled.
And it was this gif.
I guess this does not help much. No wood around, so I cross fingers ;-)

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
