clicking "Print Preview" on this site with a complicated frames structure and
some Javascript makes Firefox crash. I don't know what exactly causes the crash
but since it's a site created by me, I could provide the sources. Also, there's
DHTML used for the menu (Sothink DHTML Menu Creator).

1.go to http://augenarzt-sindelfingen

Do you have a talkback ID for the crash?
If talkback was triggered when it crashed then you can find the ID in the
talkback.exe program /components sub directory of the firefox program directory.

Talkback was not triggered even though I think it is generally active. It was
triggered before by other problems. I think it might be because FF just "hung"
and didn't quit by itself. I had to kill it through task manager. 

But you can easily reproduce the crash. Just visit
http://augenarzt-sindelfingen.de and try to view that page in "Print Preview". 
I assume it will crash on all (Windows) machines. If you still need the Talkback
information, please tell me how to force Talkback to be triggered and I will
provide the ID. Marcus

I can't reproduce the crash thats what WFM means.

Could you download a nightly build and see if it has been fixed as your version
is rather old.

TB should be triggered automatically when firefox crashes. You need to select it
by doing a custom install and selecting the Mozilla Quality Feedback Agent.

Ok sorry, I didn't know what WFM meant. You are right, the latest nightly
doesn't crash. So I guess it was fixed along the way and the bug can be closed.
I usually don't use nighly's because my extensions won't work.

Closing WFM as per comment 5.

Thanks for testing in the nightly version.
