User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1 Build ID: 20111220165912 Steps to reproduce: Went to this site: http://ip-check.info/?lang=en and clicked on Start Test. Actual results: Firefox closed. It did this repeatedly, each time I visited the site and clicked on Start Test. Expected results: The website should have displayed the information I was seeking.
Please submit the crash data when it crashes. Restart Firefox and load about:crashes and give us a few of the Crash IDs. https://developer.mozilla.org/en/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_for_a_bug_report

No crash data is produced when this occurs. I suspect it happens so rapidly that Firefox is unable to produce crash data or store it before the program terminates. Or, perhaps it is not a crash at all, but something in the website causes Firefox to close, as opposed to crash. I have seen this occur at other sites too, but I do not have a list of them. Will add them as I find them. My best suggestion, Mats, is to go to the site mentioned and try it for yourself.
The site works fine for me on a few different computers. Please disable the Flash plugin under Tools->Add-ons->Plugins and restart Firefox. Does that make the problem go away? If not, please test without the Java plugin in the same way.

Disabling Flash had no effect. Firefox still closed on the site. Disabling Java, however, worked. With Java disabled I was able to enter the site and take the test with the results being displayed, no problem. Firefox did not close. The plugin is Java(TM)Platform SE 7 U1 10.1.0.8
Works for me with Java SE 7 U2. You could try updating to U2 and see if that helps... if the problem still occurs with U2 then please report the problem to your Java vendor (Oracle?). Thanks.

Updated to Java SE 7 U2 and that did solve the problem. Thanks very much! I consider this problem resolved.
