Ben Hearsum and I updated our Shiretoko nightly builds to the most
recent one (20090218) and discovered, to our chagrin, that typing in
the awesomebar would reliably crash the browser.
It turns out this only happens if you have
javascript.options.jit.chrome set to true (default is false). I
suspect, however, several of us browse like that, and so wanted to
alert you all to the workaround.
Ben's filed https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=479053 to
track.
cheers,
