Mozilla crashes hard and gives the following page fault message in Windows 98SE
on May 28th evening EST (around 21:40) while attempting to load the Runescape
min webpage. The site worked fine earlier in the day, I suspect either some
changes or an advertisement placed in an iframe created the problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firefox
2. Type www.runescape.com in the address bar.
3. Press Enter or click the Go button.
Actual Results:  
Total crash of the Firefox application and Page fault message from Windows.

Expected Results:  
Load the page normally, get me to slay assorted fantastic creatures, raise
skills  and barter various items in a virtual MMORPG.

I can confirm the same bug when visiting www.tv.com (it seem to crash when
trying to download banners/ads from the specific host ds.serving-sys.com). I
worked around this problem by adding a mapping in my hostsfile of 127.0.0.1 for
this domain, and now i can visit those pages without it crashing.

However, the problem exists on several other sites that results in a serious
crash of FireFox.

Please provide talkback IDs from the crash. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Talkback
gives install instructions and the ID can be located in /components/Talkback.exe
in the firefox directory.

I can't reproduce with Firefox 2.0.0.3 with a clean profile. Closing this bug as WORKSFORME. If you're able to reproduce with Firefox 2.0.0.3 or later using a clean profile and are willing to provide more information (like talkback IDs), please comment and provide info.
