i've found that after upgrading to 2.0.0.13 my Firefox crashes
everytime i open it with my netvibes.com page. when i navigate away
from that page, it works fine. i had it running for over an hour
without using netvibes, and 20 seconds after i went to netvibes, it
crashed again!

Works for me, but I don't use it, never heard of it, and have no personalized
content.

I'm getting the same issue.

I'm using Google Calendar, G-Mail, Remember the Milk, Bookmarks, and a
variety of RSS feeds.

Girls are like Internet domain names, the ones I like are already taken.

I seem to have fixed it (although I have no idea why it fixed it).
Here's what I did:

After starting up firefox (and going to the netvibes page) I clicked
the delete button (the X in the top right corner) on my Remember the
Milk widget. Then I left it at the confirm deletion screen until
netvibes finished loading everything else. Then I clicked cancel so
that I wouldn't actually delete it. Now it works fine. I don't know if
it would have worked for any widget, but it's possible.

I have the same problems with netvibes and the new version of Firefox.

I have (had actually) the same problem. Its strange that we have not
seen a response from the NV folks yet.

Anyways, i think i found the root cause. I tried what Tom Sweeney
suggested and it did not work for me but i did a few tests and
confirmed that the problem does lie with the 'remember the milk'
widget. For now, the only solution I have is to remove the widget.
Once removed netvibes works fine on this latest version of Firefox.

I also was having Firefox 2.0.0.13 crashes (on both Mac and Windows)
after adding the Remember the Milk widget. I used Safari browser (no
crash) to access Netvibes and remove the Rem the Milk widget. No
problems now. As of today, I don't see any documentation about this
issue on rememberthemilk.com
