um, the normal idea of expected results is they're a list of good things that you *want* to have happen. i know very few people who *want* firefox to freeze and crash. could you please try to fill in the form without using copy and paste? we don't try to make busy work by including multiple fields for which the same answers work, why would we do that?

I've noticed the same problem in FF 1.5.0.1 on Windows XP, but I think it's related to the GMail Notifier plugin. GMail gets to the "Loading" screen and then Windows kicks Firefox out of memory space with a "Contact the developers"-style screen.

CONFIRM. As of Firefox 1.5.02, this problem is *much worse*.

Steps to reproduce bug.

Load Gmail.
After a while, *reload* Gmail.
Firefox 1.5.02 freezes and *crashes*
Even worse, reload one tab, and then reload Gmail.

This problem was already noticed recently with 1.5.01 but seems much worse with 1.5.02. This is a really critical bug. I have already had 2 FF crashes this evening, and FF rarely goes down for me. This is a BAD BUG. CRASHER.
