This is a url that I used to visit quite frequently. The person running this blog is a Microsoft Silverlight team member. Firefox 2.x worked fine with this site. I just loaded 3.0 and happened to click on this bookmark and it dumps Firefox.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. insert url in browser. I have Silverlight installed on this machine. But I also renamed the "plugin" folder to "old_plugins" to see if that was a problem.
2.
3.
Actual Results:
Firefox crashes completely. No message, no nothing.
Expected Results:
Blog would show up.
Display Tim's blog.

Problem was resolved by removing and reinstalling Silverlight. Sorry for the confusion. Why it takes a new installation of the same version of Silverlight is a question. The old version used to indicate that the user needed to download a new version of Silverlight if the old one did not work.
