NewsFox developer:  I'm just looking for some insight into what is causing crashes in FF3 nightlies with only NewsFox open.  I have zero ability to read crash reports and hope someone with some expertise can point me in the right direction to fix this problem.

Crashes seem to happen when NewsFox is updating.  Originally I thought it when scrolling the iframe in the NewsFox pane, but it seems to happen other times as well.  I have never seen a crash with FF2.  I thought maybe the problem had gone away, but got some crashes yesterday and today.

Let me know what info would be useful.

I haven't had any crashes with FF3.0 or FF3.0.1(and had totally forgotten about this bug).
