When I visit the following page, Firefox crashes:

http://dean.edwards.name/IE7/

(Ironically, it is a page about Internet Explorer :-)

A stack trace seems to suggest that it is related to Javascript in some way?

gdb output:

Reporter:
Please provide a Talkback crash report ID from an original Mozilla.org build.
We are only accepting bugs from original builds....

You get the ID if you send the crash report and open firefox/components/talkback
manually after that.

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.
