Description:
Well, I'm really confused because such thing has never happened to me before.

A few days ago I was explaining to my friend the meaning of 'You-Tube' because I remember the site starting as a platform for drawing with mouse-controlled color tubes. Well, today I decided to find a link to show him how it looked like - and started my search from the wikipedia page "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Youtube".

Unfortunatelly, all I could glance at was the sign for locked page, the logo and data table starting on the right and the first few sentences. Then the browser window disappeared and Mozilla Crash Report appeared, saying "We're Sorry
Firefox had a problem and crashed. We'll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts."

4 things in addition:

  • My browser version is 3.5.4 with 4 extensions only: AdBlockPlus, ForecastFox, ImageZoom and TabMixPlus.
  • It didn't restore the exact set of tabs from before the crash which according to my experience means that the crash was very heavy and quick. (The only heaviest thing is when it doesn't offer any session to restore at all.)
  • I opened and read in tabs other pages on "http://en.wikipedia.org" before and after that.
  • While I was searching the right place to tell this story, I found one more page, that causes FF to crash - "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Wales".

Well, all I want is to not be afraid what will happen when I'm opening a page from wikipedia.org. :)

With respect,
Petia Petrova
