I get that crash on 5, but I can't reproduce on Beta, Aurora or Nightly, so this was apparently fixed a while ago.

This looks like bug 646184.

I can reproduce the crash on Firefox 5 but not on Nightly (didn't test other versions).

The testcase of bug 646184 crashes as well:

BTW, [@ nsGlobalWindow::GetLocalStorage(nsIDOMStorage**) ] should be added to this bug's (and maybe bug 646184's) Summary and Crash Signature field, so that it is shown on crash-stats and found in searches. (I would change it myself, but I don't have the rights to change it...)

Bug 646184 has a target milestone of Firefox 6, which corroborates our findings.
