WFM in 1.0.6.  Is your Flash install okay (page has Flash elements)?  Have you
tried a new profile? Any extensions installed?

WFM in Deer Park Alpha 2. Please attempt to replicate this bug in a more recent
version of Mozilla Firefox.

I have flashplayer version 7. Tried in safe mode, also crashes. I have a few
extensions, but do extensions matter if it crashes even in safe mode? 
One person with 1.0.6 on hr.comp.softver.mozilla managed to replicate the
problem, one other did not.

Will send it, as soon as I file the bug report ;)
I can't for now, for some reason, server down perhaps?

Cool. Looking at the talkback data, this is a dupe of bug 228557.
