User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.9) Gecko/20050711 Firefox/1.0.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.9) Gecko/20050711 Firefox/1.0.5

This is happening with multiple sites, ever since upgrading to build 1.0.5 - did
not happen with previous builds.  When I open new tabs the browser crashes
completely.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Do you have any extensions installed? Try starting in Firefox Safe-Mode or
disabling all your extensions and see if this still occurs.

I have the same problem. Crashes when loading multiple tabs, experience in 
1.0.2, 1.0.4, and 1.0.6.

Reproducible: Not through a specific recipe. Experience, e.g., by middle-
clicking on multiple links from the www.independent.co.uk website.
The browser "loading" multiple pages seems to be associated with the problem, 
i.e., opening the links one at a time, or loading them from the cache is less 
of a problem.

William, bugzillamozilla05, 
Start Firefox Safe-Mode with version 1.5 - does the problem still occur?

Safe-mode is not really an option for investigation of this issue, as the problem only occurred during extensive browsing (which I am not prepared to do without Adblock, e.g.).

I am happy to say, however, that since 1.5.0.3 , stability has much improved, and I have not had a crash recently.
