to view that page, I think I need to be logged in as you.

"You are not allowed to view this page because you are not in this league. (Error #152)"

from the crash report, it looks like flash is involved.

> 2. enable auto-update.  When update dialog pops up, click now

can see what happens if you attempt to install a new add-on, and then restart?

I haven't heard of any crashes on auto-update using powerPC via the huge number of updates we've done over the past 4 months. Also, your crash report isn't available on crash-stats anymore. I'm going to set this bug to closeme status (to resolved:incomplete) for a month from now pending some more information about this, Tony.
