487499 - frequent random crashes when clicking a link in an open tab, or opening a new tab

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 467167

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[sassykatt05]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.30; .NET CLR 3.0.04506.648)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0/version 3.0.8

My browser has been sporadically crashing when clicking a link in an open tab (nytimes.com, gmail.com, md judiciary case search, my online calendar), and also crashing when I attempt to open a link in a new tab. It is also noticeably slower opening web pages. My Outlook and Internet Explorer can open the same website and links, and load at normal speeds. It's been happening frequently, but not systematically.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firefox.
2. Open nytimes.com.
3. Click on any link, for example, to an article in the "Most Emailed" section on homepage.
Actual Results:  
n/a, not consistently reproducible

Expected Results:  
n/a

Here's my crash reports:
