[Fasterfox] RE: Fasterfox Print Crash

[JanT at vodafone.net]

Tony,

sorry - I was going to drop you a line directly, but yesterday got a bit hectic, so here goes:

I had problems printing on two web-sites before I zero'ed in on FasterFox:
1)  The first was the UK National Rail Enquiries site (http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/), where I tried to print the result of an on-line enquiry for some train times.  Firefox appeared to hang, consuming 100% CPU. This was using v0.6.5 of FasterFox.
2) The second was the UK Yellow pages (http://www.yell.com), where I tried to print the results of searching for a "taxi" in "pangbourne".  In this case Firefox crashed repeatedly with a windows exception (trying to read 0000000, I think).  On the first occasion, I also let the Firefox bug-reporting tool send a report.   The crash happened with both v0.6.4 and v0.6.5 of FasterFox.  Removing FasterFox made the problem disappear.

Operating System: Windows 2000 (Build 2195, SP4)

Information from Firefox using InfoLister:
