Can you provide more information? 

What extensions do you have installed? (are you using roboform?)
Can you provide a talkback ID for the crash? 
Does the crash occur if you start firefox in firefox safe mode:

Without additional information this bug will be marked invalid as your problem
is not able to be reproduced.

I have exactly the same problem.. Had no problem with 1.04, installed 1.05, 
had the crash problem so I uninstalled 1.05 and installed 1.06.  Same story.  
Just tell me how to get 1.04 back so I don't have to give up on Firefox & stay 
with IE.

Jamie Mitchell's questions started me experimenting; as soon as I deactivated
Roboform, Firefox 1.0.5 and 1.0.6 worked without a hitch.  Roboform has an
extension for 1.0.5 now; I haven' tried it with Firefox 1.0.5; I'm just using
1.0.6 until Roboform catches up.  I did find a version of Firefox 1.0.4 on the
web (surprisingly difficult considering it was just replaced) server was in a
European country, forget which.  Probe Google enough, and you'll run across it.
 This is a PIA, though.

Great news. As you noticed, the extension was upgraded for 1.0.5, so I'm sure
the extension owner is working on an upgrade for 1.0.5. You can send the owner
an email if you want informing him/her of this bug if you feel it is necessary.

I am marking this bug WORKSFORME because this problem does not occur when using
a bare build (meaning w/o the extension in question). If you feel that the bug
IS in Firefox and not in the extension at a later time, feel free to reopen the
bug so we can continue to work this out.
