[Bug 180728] Re: firefox crashes when entering address in yahoo maps

[proto]

I can confirm this: Ubuntu 7.10 (2.6.22-14-generic) and Firefox
2.0.0.11.  Enter that second address in yahoo maps, hit 'GO' and Firefox
goes away.  There is no crash report in /var/crash, but Firefox
recognizes it as an ungraceful exit because it asks to restore when next
launched.

additional info: 
1) Yahoo Maps recently changed their web page.  I can't say for sure, but I think that's when this problem started happening.  The new page has additional functionality, apparently implemented in Flash, which causes significant extra network accesses.  (They also have a HUGE, superannoying Flash advert that sucks down processing power like a fratboy at a kegger.)

2) Firefox under Windows XP DOES NOT exhibit the same problem.  (But,
the new page does exhibit a lot of latency or processing issues -- very
herky-jerky.)
