[Bug 931637] [NEW] Firefox 10.0.1 crashes when trying to enter a command on the Web Console

[Bjorn Christianson]

Public bug reported:

Bug first appeared last week after updating to Firefox 10 using
Synaptic. Original symptom was crashing Firefox when navigating a site
I'm developing (which logs a lot to console in development environment).
Further discovery indicated that I could crash Firefox by clicking on
the DOM tab in Firebug. At that point, I re-installed Firefox, created a
new profile, re-installed Firebug and could still reproduce the crash. I
created a new user on my system, repeated the prior steps, same result.
After some searching, I found these discussions:

http://groups.google.com/group/firebug/browse_thread/thread/bfb5a8b038ef2328/65171984c28775a1?show_docid=65171984c28775a1#

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=725619

At which point, I tried simply opening the Web Console and typing print,
which would crash the browser before finishing typing the command, even
with a clean install and no plug-ins.
