I've got the same problem; it occurs with Mozilla 1.7.13, SM 1.0.4, Firefox 1.5.0.5., bot not with IE 6.
YES, I've got "Yahoo Application State Plugin" installed. (OS: WinME).
If you remove the plugin; e.g. rename it, do you still crash?

It's not possible to rename or remove npYState.dll. These actions are refused. Maybe this problem is connected with the installation of Yahoo! Messenger?

Yes, that plugin is installed by Yahoo! Messenger. Maybe close Yahoo! Messenger and then try removing?

Although I was sure of having closed Messenger, it was not possible to rename or remove the plugin until I've closed the browser (SM, in this case). Then  I renamed the plugin, and Yahoo! homepage displays without any problems.

To rename plugin just remove the letter E, npYState<---to read= npYStat.dll located in the shared file of your Yahoo folder.
