Reporter, you're using a build that's almost a year old. Are you able to
replicate this problem using the most recent milestone build?

not true...  It does NOT work for me.
Firefox 1.0 DOES NOT work... FF1.0 is my ( and in the company where I work)
primary browser.

FF1.5b1 is in BETA stage and it is not yet released. Even, when it will be
released, companies, typically do NOT swiths their software quickly.  FF1.0 has,
at least 6-9 months (or even more) of life ahead of it.

So, I think that the 1.0 branch of the FF should be fixed.

You should at least test with 1.0.7, if it still crashes, then please provide
talkback id for the crash.

The branch is only accepting security fixes at this point, last I checked, so
unless this is exploitable it's WFM....
