It _is_ a conflict with another extension. Annoyingly, it's a conflict with an extension which is very useful - namely Google's Load Time Analyser: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3371/. I had rather hoped that this would be a conflict with a fluff extension that I don't use very often, but as it is I use the load time gadget a few times a day, being a bit of a loading time obsessive.

I'll disable the load time analyser while I test this.

Gareth,
Please let us know what you find out about the crashing of FF 2.0, yours is
the first report I have heard.

You can try the Functional Web Accessibility Evaluator with out the
extension, it just will not test code generated by scripting.

Let us know what you think, we will have a new reporting interface for FAE
in about a month or so that will give much better feedback on design
improvements.
