User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4) Gecko/20070515 Firefox/2.0.0.4 I just update themes and blue adaptive and after had problems with what seemed like spyware. I searched Google for Adaptive Blue Spyware and Firefox closed all my tabs with prompt and went ahead without my clicking no. Afterward reproduced error with certain words crashing Firefox. Not all words in the search engine will crash Firefox, but certain words like "spyware" would crash. I tried Yahoo search engine and same problem. There seems to be a deliberate security hole and it is causing some major issues with search features. My windows system restore is not working either. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Click on search engine like Google 2.Type "spyware" in search box 3.Firefox closes everytime Actual Results: Firefox immediately disappears Expected Results: Browser should stay open Frustrating and seemingly unfixable.
Does Talkback appear when you crash? If so, can you get a Talkback ID? http://kb.mozillazine.org/ Also, is this reproducible in safe mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode
