User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

I just upgraded to FF1.5, and have FF set as my default browser in Windows.

Now every time I try to use Google desktop search (build 0050818-en) my Windows Explorer crashes, and then Dr Watson crashes immediately after. 

Crash seems to happen as Google desktop is populating a FF tab with search results.

FF remains active, as do any other open programs, but the Windows taskbar, start menu etc locks up and becomes inoperable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. type search term into Google Desktop search panel in taskbar
2. hit return


Actual Results:  
Windows Explorer crash - this only started happening after inastall of FF1.5

Expected Results:  
FF to load desktop search results page

Could you attach the crashlog from Dr. Watson?

Sorry - I found there is an update for Google desktop and applied that update. Now am on Google Desktop 20051111-en and the problem does not occur anymore.

For what it is worth, here's the eventlog transcripts:
