While it WFM on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051108 Firefox/1.5 ID:2005110803, it is extremely slow loading and the tab button is completely blank. It doesn't crash for me, though.

Ohh, and By the way, I am running Windows 2003 x64 Bit edition

(the firefox is the regular 32bit build downloaded from mozilla.org)

Could you install with talkback and get a talkback ID for the crash? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Talkback
