Test case: 1. Hit ALT to bring up the HUD search box 2. Type one or more words into the textbox. Expected result: 1. HUD appears ready to search 2. Results appear depending on the search term. What actually happens: 1. HUD appears ready to search 2. Results appear, however firefox crashes shortly after. == Additional information == Running firefox in safe mode makes HUD ignore firefox. In this situation Firefox doesn't crash. **1: I can reproduce this bug on 64 bit Ubuntu.
