After two or three census image downloads, error generated advising program is trying to access address 0x00000006 (not addressable).  Browser closes.  Accessed those same images with Safari--no problem.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Access ancestry.com census images.
2.Use Ancestry back/forward arrows to page through images at 100%.
3.Hold on to your chair.
Actual Results:  
Firefox/XP advise the program has encountered an error and must close.  Do you want to send a report.  Afterward, you can open Firefox, accept offer to return to previous session and for the next two or three images, everything is okay.  Then it happens again.

Expected Results:  
Displayed the images and continued

Nothing special.  Have been doing this with Firefox for several years.  This is the first time the problem has occurred.

Dupe of bug 376074?  That was reported as a 1.8 branch bug that was fixed (with no attribution) in 1.9.

This wfm using Firefox 3.0.x and since Firefox 2 is now unsupported, should this bug be closed?
