User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3

If you click on the History Tab, right next to the Bookmarks Tab on the main toolbar, firefox completely freezes.  You have to shut Firefox down then, using CTRL-ALT-DEL...and this sometimes also results in a crash.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click on History Tab, next to Bookmarks, using tabs on top of screen
2.That's all you need to do - instant freeze.
3.
Actual Results:  
Firefox froze, and I had to close Firefox thru CTRL-ALT-DEL method.

Expected Results:  
Should have shown my History Items, and allowed me to visit any of them.

Does not always cause crash, but it always causes Firefox to freeze, and you have to close and re-start Firefox - and the only way to close it is thru CTRL-ALT-DEL.  It will not respond to clicking the X close icon in upper right, nor will Firefox navigate in any way, once you click on that History tab.
