[Florin Andrei]

mozilla-1.7.10-1.5.1 does not crash on the same page, with same plugins installed

Comment 2

[Ria Klaassen (not reading all bugmail)]

No crash in WinXP. Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4)
Gecko/20050729 Firefox/1.0+ ID:2005072905

Comment 3

[Dave Townsend [:mossop]]

Works for me
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050729
Firefox/1.0+ ID:2005072906

Please file a talkback report and post the ID here.

Comment 4

[Florin Andrei]

I don't think talkback is enabled in Firefox on Fedora

$ rpm -ql firefox |grep -i talk
$

Also WFM on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10)

Reporter, can you retry this running firefox in safe mode
(http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode) and if at all possible with an official
mozilla build with talkback installed.

Comment 6

[Florin Andrei]

Well, it works for me now.
Probably something changed on that page meanwhile, because it was crashing
pretty reliably, even after restarting X.

Comment 7

[Dave Townsend [:mossop]]

Changing to works for me unless this crops up again.
