Can you provide a talkback ID for the crash please.

Also what PDF plugin and version are you using?

If you are using the acrobat reader 6 plugin then try upgrading to acrobat reader 7.

Since there has been no reply to comment #1 ==> WORKSFORME. 

The reported Firefox version(s) are too old a build to analyze bugs against now. The problem you are reporting may well have been fixed already.

Could you please download a recent version or nightly build from <http://www.mozilla.org/releases/nightly.html>, and then let us know if you still see this problem? If so feel free to report back and ask for the bug to be reopened.

Many thanks, Cigno
