I've been using Adblock Plus for a while, and noticed that it crashes firefox on Yahoo! Mail. This happens when i reload the page, or when i close firefox while being on my inbox. What i do is login to yahoo! mail, check my inbox, and close firefox. That's when i get the dialog box to send the error report to microsoft. I have Windows XP SP2 Home Edition ,fully patched, and i have Adblock Plus version 0.7.1.2. I disabled all of my extensions, and kept testing it on Yahoo! mail, and firefox only crashes on Yahoo! mail when Adblock Plus is enabled.

Sorry for double posting, but i found another extension that crashes firefox On yahoo mail. It's Fasterfox 1.0.3. When i have Fasterfox and Adblock Plus disabled, firefox doesn't crash in yahoo mail.

Thanks rick752, i think that solved the problem. 4 months of crashing and all because of a buggy plugin that i din't even know was installed. Thanks again.

I just noticed that somebody is finally paying attention to this issue - some Mozilla people are sharing my suspicion that this is the #1 topcrash for Firefox. Hopefully something good comes out of it.
