Works fine here with FF2.0.0.14, Windows XP SP3, Silverlight2 beta2

Had some SL2 Beta2 related crash issues with FF3RC2 but later it was working fine but SL2 beta2 was not supported with ch9 videos so removed that. Not yet tested with FF Final.
Never had any issues with FF2.0.0.14

Check your SL version and also any plugins.

Does the crash reporter pop up in when it crashes in Firefox 3? If so, could you visit about:crashes (in Firefox 3) and post the link to the most recent crash report?

Wow, much to my suprise, I could replicate... just as I clicked 'Coffeehouse'.

Furthermore, there was a problem submitting my report. I blame Firefox Download Day.

yea, that one, so you've found what the problem is? I've reported that error since the day the new C9 was deployed... the error doesn't contains that much data to understand it

P.S. I'll blame Channel9 for that Tongue Out

event thought it's obviously a problem with Firefox...

Again, do you have the link to the error report?

The "error report" as given by the crash reporter is useless-- but that's not all it sends. If you take a look at what's actually submitted (here's one of mine), you get all kinds of useful information, like the method where it crashed and a backtrace of all running threads.

Installed FF3 on Vista.
Works fine with Channel9, FF3 and SL2 Beta2
No problem
Even videos are fine.

EDIT : channel10 has to correct the Silverlight.js file. Videos does not show with FF3 and SL2Beta2 on10.

Yep, I have that problem as well. I'll do some fiddler tracing to figure out why the right cookies aren't getting cleared!

on, and on your earlier note... just C9 has the updated Silverlight.js, we'll get it out to the other sites over the next day or so I expect.
