 I was using the Rich Editor with no problems before upgrading to Firefox
 1.5.0.6 (Win). I now get regular crashes, pretty much every time I use the
 editor.

 Viewing the source as HTML causes a crash, and inserting uploaded images
 can occasionally cause a crash.

 I have noted that highlighting a word, clicking the 'URI' button and
 entering a link is a common culprit of the crash. It often happens after
 creating three or four links - the next one will crash the whole browser.
 However, it can happen first time as well.

 This happens on all my installations of Wordpress (five in total).

 I have not found 1.5.0.6 to be particularly stable on my machine
 generally, but the Rich Editor is notoriously bad, so much so that I am
 now forced to turn it off.
