358833 - Random crash when I open a new Firefox instance when 'hot'

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 234598

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Philip Elthorpe]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.8.1) Gecko/20061010 Firefox/2.0

Whenever Firefox has been running for a few minutes, there is a good chance of a new window crashing the system. There doesn't seem to be any reason for the crash... it just happens, out of the blue, as the window is loading.
When I restart Firefox after the crash, it does open all the windows except the one which crashed the system, and it can open a new window normally, however, after a short time, the bug is able to happen again.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firefox normally.
2. Open a few tabs, and go through normal tabbed browsing activity for a few minutes.
3. Open a totally new window.
Actual Results:  
The Error Report dialogs for Windows and Firefox appear, and Firefox closes after the Windows one is closed.

Expected Results:  
The new window should have loaded normally.

This only happens with Firefox 2.0. It didn't happen with the previous versions. My homepage is Yahoo, but have used the page in normal browsing without problems.
