Doesn't crash on WinXPSP2 with FF 1.0.6 or trunk. Can you send in a talkback
incident and record the ID here or attach a stack from the crash? Can you
reproduce in FF 1.0.6 ?

Comment 2

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

Do you also crash if you run Firefox in the Firefox safemode ?
(http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode).

And also only bug Reports from Mozilla.org Builds are valid.
Please use a original Mozilla.org Build and send a Talkback Report and post the
Talkback ID from the crash in this bug as Bob with comment #1 already suggested.

Comment 3

[Richard Zuidhof]

The crash did not occur when I tried again today. But I noticed the headers of
the remote site have changed. It starts downloading instead of redirecting first.
Therefore I recreated the same headers at
http://www.richard.versatel.nl/download.php After that I only saw the same
behaviour once and then I did not have Firefox in a mode that I could trace
anything.
