hmm, this stack doesn't look right, it seems to be the wrong thread.

Do you mean Java or Javascript ?
Do you also crash in the Firefox safemode ?

Yes, sorry, I mean Javascript.
Yes, it crashes in Safemode as well.  I  have attached the Safemode crash details as separatefile.

Ok - I need to recant what I said most recently.  Safemode does NOT crash.  However, when entering Safemode I select NONE of the checkboxes.  That would seem to be the "unsafest" Safemode and yet the Javascript links seem to work without crashing.

Comment 7

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

Safemode without checkboxes is just Firefox without addons.
Can you disable your ainstalled addons one by one to find the addon which is causing this ?

Comment 8

[J. Roberts]

Ok - that's it!

Some addon that came with my ThinkPad X61 Tablet PC called 'ThinkVantage Password Manager 2.0'.  A little investigation shows there are known problems (See http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=Special_Interest_Utilities&thread.id=75)

thanks, please ask the author (in this case lenovo) about this issue.
