Does the crash happen in firefox's safemode?

the crashes. Thanks!

WFM - no crash

Please, can you install talkback (instructions here:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Talkback) crash, send the incident and then copy the
ID from /components/talkback.exe to this bug.

be relevent.

Please recheck this bug against a recent nightly build[1] to verify that the
behavior still exists and post the results here.

Thanks.

My Firefox 1.5.0.4 just hangs for a while when i have a few tabs of howstuffworks.com opened. (Using WinXP on a 2.8GHz P4 with 1GB RAM.)

Comment 3 of bug 228557 might shed more light on this..

Reporter did not come back to give us TalkbackID nor tried safemode. Two WFMs, so resolving this WORKSFORME.

Reporter, if you can still reproduce this with a trunk build, please reopen.
