Since I'm not on face book I can't test your script, but I did look
briefly at it.
1) I didn't see the script peppered with alerts so you can tell how
far it gets before crashing FF.
Surely if you put "alert('starting')" at the top of script that will
do something.
2) Have you run Windows Task Manager (or whatever it is called in W7)
to see if FF is rapidly eating up and running out of memory? That can
cause unexplained crashes..
3) Have you tried rebooting? Sometimes XP/Vista/W7 gets screwed up
such that FF behaves badly even after reloading but works fine after a
reboot.
