User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9b3) Gecko/2008020514 Firefox/3.0b3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9b3) Gecko/2008020514 Firefox/3.0b3

Attempting to load Rikaichan or the LookupBar via the Tools menu or the right-click context menu immediately crashes Firefox3.0b3.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn on Rikaichan.
Actual Results:  
Firefox crashed.

Expected Results:  
Normal operation of the add-on; nothing (other than dictionary loading) should happen until Japanese text is moused over.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to figure out in what module the crash happens in with Vista;

On Win2k Firefox 3b3 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; ja; rv:1.9b3) Gecko/2008020514 Firefox/3.0b3) consistently crashes when both the basic Japanese - English dictionary (4.7MB) and the extended Names dictionary (15MB) are installed.  Rikaichan works when the Names dictionary is disabled or uninstalled (but of course with reduced functionality).  The same issue did not affect 3b2.

Thanks!

Firefox 3.0b4 fixes this problem and allows installation of the Names dictionary on Vista (and presumably everywhere else).

Thanks, developers!

Works on Win2K as well.  Thanks for the quick fix developers!  Also great to have a modern browser supporting older (Win2K) systems.

Thanks!
