Do you use Nightly elm (ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-elm/) that is the only build compatible with the modern UI?
If yes, can you provide the crash ID from about:crashes?
If no, see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox_Metro_UI

Yes, i use the nightly ELM. I've checked my about:crashes page but it says that:
"No crash reports have been submitted."

I've tried to uninstall-rebooted my vm-install nightly but the problem still remains the same.

Can you provide a stack trace (see https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/How_to_get_a_stacktrace_with_WinDbg)?

Hi

Here's the stack trace:

https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=8F1AE09877C0E260!505&authkey=!AE2LZlCc2ycuESg

But i'm not sure if the stacktrace is that accurate because when you execute the "Debug->Go" it will open the non-modern version of firefox. But I've tried to open and execute the modern u.i (and it crashed) while on debug mode.

Hope this stack trace would help. :)
