Firefox 0.9.3 - Unable to reproduce
Description
If using Firefox 0.9.3 or 2, and you click on the main forums link
then click on a specific forum (like Ask an Immortal) before it finishes
loading the entire page, it crashes Firefox. It didn't used to be like
this and I know about 5-6 people that are getting the same results - maybe
it has to do with linkexchange or maybe there were some changes made to
the forums page.
Either way, could this be checked out? Kind of annoying to wait (yes I
know, we're all impatient) for the entire page to load before we enter a
forum we want to read.
-----------------------------------
I use 0.9.3, but have been unable to crash it doing what you've
described. If the problem continues, try adding linkexchange to
your hosts file (e-mail me if that's gibberish to you) and see
if that clears it up.

Nope, didn't fix and I know a few people still getting the issue.
AppName: firefox.exe AppVer: 0.9.0.0 ModName: firefox.exe
ModVer: 0.9.0.0 Offset: 00170b7b
From the bugfile report, know it doesn't mean much but eh...
Here's the easiest way to recreate it - I just did it again on another computer, fresh install of firefox .9.3 - empty out the cache and go to http://carrionfields.com, and click the forums link before things finish loading (so the buttons on the left have little image icons), then when that comes up, click the Bug Forum real quick before everything stops loading again. Wait for the Bug Forum to try and finish loading, and about halfway through it crashes.
So open page, quickly open forum, quickly open Bug, wait a few seconds and it crashes.
