This is very annoying. The Firefox browser encounters a bug when you change
from Yahoo.com to Yahoo.de in the Search Bar.I assume this because the German UTF-8 characters don't load correctley. What happens is that Firefox gives you an error message and all Firefox windows close. Hence, I loose all my informations and not saved work. Please Fix this soon.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to Yahoo.com
2.Type in Yahoo.de in The Search bar
3.press enter
Actual Results:  
Go to Yahoo.com
do some Searches and then you want to look in Yahoo.de
to find German information and you type yahoo.de in the Search bar.
After you press enter Firefox quits on you.

Expected Results:  
Firefox encounters a fatal flaw and closes.

Display Yahoo.de and be still working.
