this is wfm with FF1.0.5 and Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; de-DE;

Please run Firefox in the Firefox safemode and it should work.

Vidocq, could you please install talkback as indicated here
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Talkback and then crash and send the incident. Then
open /components/talkback.exe from the firefox directory and copy the incident
ID to this bug. Thanks

Could not send incident as talkback.exe was unable to create it.
