Crash Data
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6
Whenever I go to a site that has a crickler on it or a crickler crossword puzzle on it, such as the site above, firefox crashes. I get a message that firefox must close and it closes all tabs.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/crosswords/crickler/crickler.html
2. Sometimes firefox allows you to start the crickler and won't crash until you are partway through, so do as much of the puzzle as firefox allows.
3. Continue puzzle until firefox crashes.
Actual Results:
Firefox closes all tabs and a window comes up that says Firefox had to close, we are sorry for any inconvenience. There are two tabs. One says report problem. The other says don't report problem.
Expected Results:
Firefox should have let me complete the puzzle without crashing.
This problem does not occur with Internet Explorer, therefore I do not believe that it is a problem caused by the website.

I cannot find talkback on my computer where it is supposed to be. What should I do now?

I can reproduce this crash too now, in the build above and in the official 1.5.0.6 build
1. Go To http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/style/crosswords/crickler/crickler.html
2. Wait for crash. If no crash, CTRL-F5 until you do.

Looks like a crash in the Flash player; I'm currently on Shockwave Flash 9.0 r16.
Reporter: There's nothing much you can do, but thanks for reporting the bug! It 'appears' to be a problem in Flash rather than firefox. But other people might have more to say about that.

This is a known Flash Player 9r16 bug. This will be fixed in an upcoming Flash Player release. Thanks for the report.
