Yes, it's definitely the same issue. For some reason, the HUD refreshes the menu on application startup and/or every time the application receives focus for some people (but not others). For these people, this is a startup crash or a crash every time Firefox receives focus. For others, it's a crash every time you accidentally hit the Alt key (whether you wanted to use the HUD or not).
