[camper365]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009020911 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.6

Sometimes, when I delete an item from history, Firefox crashes. I looked into it by running Firefox from a terminal window, and I found out it was a segmentation fault.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new tab/window and go to a website
2. Close the tab/window
3. Open history and delete the folder that you just went to
Actual Results:  
When I ran Firefox from a terminal, Firefox closed and the terminal window displayed segmentation fault.
When I started Firefox again, the history folder was deleted

Expected Results:  
Firefox should have just kept running, instead of closing

Specifically, if you could go to about:crashes in firefox and point us to some of the crash IDs for this crash, that would be very helpful.

we need a stack trace, or this is useless.
